Seasons Eatings Farm has been evolving over the last decade. We believe that eating locally grown food is very important. We take our work as farmers very seriously. The naturally grown food we offer our customers is the same nutritious food we eat in our home. We harvest five days a week. We are strong believers in community, small business, local economy, sustainable agriculture and fresh, healthy, locally produced food. We educate children and adults through farmers market, speaking engagements, phone calls, and hands-on opportunity. We learn from our visitors and meet new friends. Come to the garden to see what we grow. Our vegetables and fruits are grown naturally, without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We grow real food. We fertilize our crops naturally. Manure, spent bedding of straw and pine shavings, leaves, weeds and spent vegetable plants from the gardens are composted and worked into the soil. Mulching helps keep the weeds under control instead of spraying herbicides. We don't have much of a need for pesticides. The soil is healthy enough to feed healthy plants. A bite out of a leaf here and there doesn't hurt the plants. Are you interested in starting a small-scale family farm but don't know where to start? We'll be offering classes in cold frame construction, growing in cold frames and low tunnels. We offer a new program called Learn & Earn. You can spend a day in hands-on working, learn new skills and earn credit for products we offer on the farm. More information will be available soon.
