Buck’s classic novel. As Certified Naturally Grown, the farm is inspected annually to ensure they are practicing organic production techniques but Dan and Julie take pride in going beyond organic...they are not defined by a minimum standard but rather by balancing complex and dynamic relationships within the whole farm system. They use methods such as cover crops, organic inputs, bare fallow periods, skim plowing, and minimum tillage all while ensuring their farm products are of the highest quality, produced for you and your health.Rainfeld Farm
Born in 2012, Rainfield Farm practices small scale farming on thirteen acres of land, two and a half of which are used for growing produce. The fields are strategically placed to minimally impact the natural landscape of pines and rolling hills. They practice organic growing methods which prevents the use of pesticides and synthetic chemicals and rely heavily on composting and soil conditioning through cover crops, green manure and crop rotations. Currently they are growing 70+ varieties of produce along with apples, peaches, herbs and flowers. We are so grateful to have Rainfield Farm supplying us with the spinach that is highlighted in our green smoothies.
