We have been growing vegetables on ten acres in Prince Edward County since 2012. We feed members seasonally with weekly bags in summer, monthly boxes in winter and bags every other week in spring. We love our "CSA" or community supported agriculture program because it gives you the guaranteed best pick of our garden and reduces waste as we harvest for each member’s custom order. We are inspired by small scale organic agriculture’s capacity to feed the world. We are driven by the conviction that it is possible to build a sustainable local food system, and are committed to feeding our members through droughts, floods and pandemics. We can’t always promise what we’ll have available till it’s ready to harvest, but when the time comes we’ve always got lots to choose from. Here’s a blog post that describes exactly how we grow. We work to ensure that our farming practices promote biodiversity, rebuild soils, and help you enjoy tasty veggies fresh from our fields.
Feeding you is our way of making the world a better place,
one sweet carrot at a time.

Your Farmers
You don't get good vegetables without good planning and good help. It all starts with Stephanie and Heather, partners in life and business who work full time full year on farm. We have a few local staffers to help us feed people year round, and three ladies join us from Mexico seasonally. As a small crew, everyone gets to try their hand at nearly everything. Most of the time you'll find everyone working up an appetite together in the fields.
Stephanie
Steph’s creativity shines with a pen and paper as she jots out detailed plans for building new vegetable storage units in our old barns. She is our crop planner, pack shed coordinator, fertility manager, tractor mechanic, builder and jokester. Her weekly garden walks keep the team working on priorities, which she’s constantly juggling.
Heather
Heather loves teaching through our weekly newsletters and finding creatures in the garden (except when they're eating vegetables). She's busy coordinating the crew in the fields, delivering veggies, or hiding in the office as our customer service, human resources, finance, and marketing departments. Il me fera plaisir de vous servir en Français. Me da gusto poder servirle en Español.
