About the Farm

Background

Winnowburrow Farm has carved out a unique niche in the local food system by exclusively cultivating heirloom produce and saving seeds adapted to their farm's soil and local climate. This commitment to preserving food biodiversity is driven by the alarming statistic that 96% of global food diversity has rapidly gone extinct. The farm's focus on heirlooms not only protects food security but also offers superior flavor and high nutritional content, making it a standout choice for consumers.

Practices

Winnowburrow Farm employs strict chemical-free and regenerative farming methods that restore the health of the local ecosystem and water supply. Although not yet Certified Organic, the farm is dedicated to practices that benefit the environment, including planting pollinator habitats to support endangered bees and butterflies. The farm's regenerative approach ensures the land remains fertile and productive for future generations.

The Rest

Winnowburrow Farm offers a seasonal 18-week CSA Share that includes heirloom produce, culinary herbs, flowers, and free-range eggs from heritage breed chickens. They are also exploring seasonal shiitake mushroom production, heirloom garden seed sales, and raising heritage breed turkeys for Thanksgiving. The farm welcomes direct and wholesale accounts and offers farm tours by appointment. Additionally, Winnowburrow Farm is an ideal venue for micro-weddings, reunions, family picnics, photo shoots, artist retreats, or simply a day getaway. They provide amenities such as a cottage for event prep, kayak rentals, and farm day passes.
