We have evolved our farm significantly over the past 13 years, starting with 1 acre in 2006 to 50 acres today. We have experience with multiple marketing models including CSA and farmers markets, but have moved to selling 100% wholesale in recent years. We have built a value-added enterprise that is now 25% of the farm’s total revenue, and expect that to be a bigger part of the business moving forward since we’re building a commercial kitchen on the farm this year. We work with a variety of different produce buyers from distributors to box share programs to processors as well as grocery chains and local coops. We also supply chefs and restaurants and have a reputation for growing unusual items and for exceptional quality.
