Our Vegetables Our vegetables are all grown using minimum off-farm inputs, thanks to the fertility supplied by our pasture-raised animals. We grow healthy, nutrient-dense produce by encouraging a healthy soil environment. Our farm is not certified organic because of our beliefs in a growing system that's EVEN BETTER than organic, We do not use synthetic fertilizers or chemical pesticides. Our unheated high tunnel and capability for root storage allows us to grow and deliver fresh produce nearly year-round. |

Our Chicken Our broiler chickens are raised on pasture from May through November using a system of rotational grazing. The birds live in movable coops, to protect them from predators, which we move to fresh grass each morning. They also forage on our fields of cover crops, to add nutrition to our vegetable fields when they are not producing food. Pasture-raised chicken is healthier (for the animals, consumers, and the land!) and more flavorful. |

Our Pork
We raise pigs outdoors - on pasture in the spring and fall and in a woodlot during the warm summers. We practice rotational grazing to move the pigs around the farm, using them as living rototillers and brush hogs, as well as giving them access to plenty of fresh forage. Our pigs root through the soil, build their own forts with sticks and hay, take mud baths, and get lots of belly rubs. Their diverse diet creates incredibly flavorful meat full of healthy fats. |

Other Farm Products We also raises a variety of herbs, cut flowers, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries using sustainable growing methods. To maximize the surplus of produce on the farm, we also make small-batches of canned goods from our own fruits and vegetables. Our pickles and jams are handmade using the highest quality ingredients. We also keep a small flock of laying hens for our family. |
