About Our Farm

We are a small family farm in Vermont with a certified organic market garden operation. Through cultivation of a diverse array of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers, and careful use of animals, we are dedicated to slowly transitioning our land from overgrown and filled with invasives to a vibrant ecosystem. 

market garden, n.

A piece of land on which fruit and vegetables are grown to be sold commercially. See also market gardener, n.

Now more commonly known in the United States as a truck-farm.

Definition from the Oxford English Dictionary Third Edition, December 2000 (most recently modified version published online March 2022).

We've never heard the phrase "truck-farm" in our life, but we like it. And we do use our 1982 VW Rabbit truck --no, it's not for sale. 

 

Whatever you want to call it, we cultivate roughly three-quarters of an acre with vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs.

When appropriate, we aim to harvest items within 24 hours of delivery or pickup. 

We focus intently on what goes into our soil, both what we add and what we take out. We use no pesticides or fungicides, which necessitates greater care to all our crops. This also goes for our animals, for whom we prioritize good feed and access to environments in which they thrive. In return, the chickens and pigs help us clear our woods, the ducks eat slugs and potato beetles and our cats work to keep the vole population under control. The dogs are pretty worthless. 

About Us

We are a law librarian (Mariah) and a materials science engineer (Ned) who moved to Vermont in 2021 and decided that, after years of talking about the importance of being good stewards of the land, we should maybe actually try doing it.  Mariah conducts the day-to-day operations of the farm. Ned spends his days off installing irrigation and cooler systems, clearing trees and brush, mowing, broadforking, building new beds, and saying "okay" when Mariah comes up with a new project. We are aided in our endeavors by Mariah's mom, who weeds pretty much every day in the summer, and our three young children who are very good at eating all the ground cherries and strawberries. 

Our end goal is to re-transform our 30+ acres of neglected woods and fields into a productive and beneficial environment (read: we have committed to a decades-long battle with honeysuckle and buckthorn).
