About Us:

We are a small organic farm that does not till or use tractors. We think of our farm as a large vegetable garden that is refined and efficient. We farm by hand with a passion for high quality produce which we feel cannot be achieved by farming on large acreage, over 2 acres, or by using tractors.

We have the greatest admiration for chefs and it is for us and for them that we grow this way. We are the extremely rare alternative to large scale tractor farming.

Our farming practices may be radical but they have resulted in our farm being one of the highest production farms per square foot in the country.

We practice  farming by hand; replacing the tractor with hand tools. All planting, cultivation, and harvesting is done manually, though we use modern tools and techniques that keep us efficient and competitive. We find that farming this way is easier, more productive, and can produce vegetables of a higher quality.

We feel the minimum requirement for us to farm well and sustain-ably is to grow our products organically. Thus, we follow strict organic growing practices throughout the farm.

We then move beyond the minimum of certifying our farm as organic and practice intensive planting and growing techniques. Our beds are replanted constantly through the season from early April through late fall. Our hoop houses produce vegetables year round. We do this by maintaining extremely fertile soil. As a result we do not need to leave fields fallow or cover crop. We believe that farming this way creates healthy vegetables resistant to diseases and pests.
