Athens, NY
About us and our growing practices:
Our farm is family run and has been in existence since the late 1700s. The fruit, vegetable and greenhouse aspect of the operation has been building since 1996. Previous to that, we were primarily a dairy farm. Ted, Dan and Nate King run the operation.
While we are not certified as organic, we do follow organic pest control practices as much as possible. Most of our pest control is done through the use of beneficial insects and OMRI (organic materials research institute) approved products.
All of our fruits and vegetables are hand picked, hand washed and hand packed. This significantly reduces bruising and waste product.
We eat what we grow so you can be sure that what you buy from me is safe.
Please Email for any special orders. Orders can be picked up at any market location or the farm.

January 2010
CSA signups will continue through February. Please email for more information.
Seeding has begun for the hydroponic tomatoes, some vegetables, bedding plants and herbs.
As we move into 2010 we plan to continue to expand our line of produce to include more variety of greens and try out a few new items.
The strawberries will be ready in June and the hydroponic tomatoes and lettuce will of course continue.
As always, we welcome input as to our products. If you have any thoughts on the items we grow, the way they are packaged or marketed or any other aspect, please feel free to email or call.
Our philosophy is to grow for our markets, as opposed to growing what we want and trying to find a market
Our plans are to continue with our CSA, markets in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Kingston and our Farm-to-School program.
God Bless and have a safe and merry Christmas.
