Every week when you come to the farm shop, we will have the fresh produce on display with everything clearly labeled. We utilize a system we call “Mix and Match” which allows you choices about the food you take that week. Usually you’ll see leafy crops like spinach, lettuce, kale and asian greens on one table and hard veggies like carrots, cabbage, zucchini, and sweet potatoes on another. We’ll let you know how much you get from each table that week and you can fill your bag as you choose. If you are just crazy about sweet peppers, you can fill you bag with peppers! But with so many good foods to choose from, we think you’ll mix it up and take a selection of veggies.

We believe that shareholders really appreciate this method of distribution which gives them choices about what they get from the farm.

Although we are not organically certified, we farm using organic practices WITHOUT using synthetic chemical fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides. But that only tells part of the story. Our goal is to exceed the organic standards and farm in a way that builds the soil, protects wildlife and waterways, encourages biodiversity, safeguards human health and produces healthy, delicious food.

We believe that soils are a precious resource. To protect the soils, we add rich composts, plant nutrient building grasses and legumes, rotate crops to different fields every year, and rest, or fallow fields in a rotating system. Our belief is that healthy soils grow healthy food.

And again, we will never use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides on our crops! We eat this food too!
