We grow a diverse mix of veggies on six acres using all organic practices. Our new farm space has provided us the opportunity to stop growing intensively and build a new crop rotation that includes multiple-year cover crops and animals on pasture. We use a myriad of cover crops (rye, vetch, peas, radish, clover, wheat, sorghum, sudangrass and buckwheat) to build organic matter and protect our soils from erosion.

Through a sublease of ten of our acres to Lillooet Farm of Boxford, rotational sheep grazing has become part of our overall crop rotation plan. Chickens, pigs and turkeys will be added to the rotation in future seasons. The inclusion of animals in our rotation increases organic matter in our soil, reduces our fertilizer needs, and reduces the need for tillage.

We believe that through a thoughtful and well-balanced plan we can maintain and restore the essential nature of our farmland. We also believe that this thoughtful plan leads to food grown with more nutritional value…we long for the days when we can quantify how much healthier our carrots are than the ones at the grocery store. For now, we are committed to and excited to tell our story and be super transparent about every detail of our growing practices. We want our community to see how much we care about the land and the people it feeds. We strive to grow high quality nutritious food for the long haul in order to feed our community now and 50 years from now.

We distribute our produce in a number of ways. We have a Summer CSA whose shareholders each receive a weekly share of veggies for twenty weeks in the summertime, a Fall CSA that runs for six weeks, and a PYO Flowers CSA that runs for ten weeks starting in July. We also sell our summer produce at our seasonal farm stand in South Hamilton, and wholesale to many local restaurants and food businesses.
