About the Farm
Background
Located in the rolling hills of rural Madison County, this tiny, locally-owned produce farm has transformed a former dog kennel into a vibrant farm store. Known for its fresh, homegrown seasonal vegetables, the farm offers produce through a CSA membership or directly at their farm store. Over the years, it has become a local favorite, not just for its produce but also for its unique farm-inspired merchandise and community events.
Practices
The farm emphasizes the importance of local, homegrown produce, ensuring that all vegetables are fresh and seasonal. By offering a CSA membership, they foster a direct connection between the farm and the community, promoting a shared investment in the land and its bounty. Their commitment to quality is evident in their weekly offerings of homemade artisan breads and other locally sourced products.
The Rest
The farm store is a treasure trove of surprises, featuring items such as wine from Covered Bridges Winery, local honey, spices, and gourmet food products. Visitors can enjoy live music and food at the 'Fridays On The Farm' events during the season, and participate in various classes taught by local artists. The annual Pumpkin Palooza Festival and the Holiday Market On The Farm are highlights of the year, celebrating local artisans and businesses. The farm store patio offers a perfect spot to relax with a bottle of wine and a loaf of artisan bread while taking in the scenic beauty of Madison County.
