Ophelia’s Blue Vine farm brings locally grown produce directly to the community to help improve the overall health of our society. We specialize in market fresh herbs cut-on-demand and sold direct to customers. The farm is ran sustainably and reduces waste by composting and recycling materials that would otherwise be thrown away. They also utilize solar power and sell locally direct to customers.

Ophelia’s is recruiting volunteer apprentices with who can commit to 4 hours weekly. The farm was inspired by Mike’s grandmother Ophelia Richardson whose generosity, integrity and determination are traits he hopes to pass down to a new generation of young farmers.
