About the Farm
Background
Located in Geneseo, NY, this farm has been a staple in the Finger Lakes region for over a decade. Shannon Chanler, a board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist, runs the historic family farm and oversees all product formulations. Melissa Hughes, the Farm Programs Manager, handles daily farm duties and manages the retail space, The Little Fruit Stand, along with the summer intern program through WWOOF.
Practices
The farm employs organic, regenerative practices and adheres to the NOFA Farmer's Pledge. Specializing in East Asian Medicinals, they grow a unique variety of hard-to-find healing plants. All products are formulated by a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist to ensure they are effective and rooted in traditional East Asian herbal medicine.
The Rest
The farm offers fresh and prepared herbs in various forms such as teas, tinctures, salves, and soaks. Custom herbal formulations are available. The Little Fruit Stand serves as a seasonal general store selling farm products and thoughtfully-sourced gifts. Socially-distanced farm tours, hikes, and special seasonal events are available. The farm also runs a WWOOF program, hosting up to five farm interns at a time, and welcomes connections with other farmers, producers, and makers.
