Our Experience & Expertise
Our farm developed one of the largest CSA programs in the country in the 1990’s, so we understand the logistics, the seasonality, the distribution requirements, and the commitment it takes to show up reliably, week after week. We are ready to bring that same commitment to your Food is Medicine program.


A History of Partnership in Health
For over a decade, we partnered with the United Way of New York City to grown and distribute thousands of pounds of produce through their Local Produce Link program. We were able to reach hundreds of individuals each week with our nutritious organic produce through a network of food pantries and soup kitchens.


Our Leadership
Farmer/owner Matt Kurek is a graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City. Founded in 1977, the school was at the forefront of health supportive cooking education, focusing on the use of whole, seasonal foods and the healing properties of food alongside classical culinary technique. Matt went on to cook in several of the city's plant-based restaurants before turning to farming. That training shapes everything we grow. We farm with a chef's eye, choosing each crop for its nutrition and flavor.

Our Farm
Our farm is located along the Connecticut River in beautiful southern Vermont where we grow over 100 different varieties of vegetables, melons and herbs. Our land and produce is USDA Certified Organic by Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF), a third party certifying agency. We are also certified with the Real Organic Project and carry a CAPS+LGS Food Safety Certification, the gold standard for farms in Vermont.

For over 30 years, we have been growing strong, healthy crops by stimulating soil biology, growing cover crops to build soil structure, rotating and resting our land and using innovative methods of minimal tillage and pest management.
