Hesperides are nymphs who tend a blissful garden in a far western corner of the world near the Atlas mountains on a blessed island. We tend 12 blissful acres of black dirt in the far western corner of Orange County, New York, near Mt. Adam and Eve on Big Island Road.

We practice sustainable agriculture with the intention of minimizing the use of fossil fuels. Our focus is to promote locally grown vegetables and herbs on small family farms. Soil fertility is maintained through the use of crop rotation, fallow fields, compost tea and cover crops. We grow a variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers. We offer a limited number of shares of produce and donate the rest of the harvest to local food banks and homeless shelters.

  • The "black dirt" takes its name from the dark, extremely fertile soil left over from an ancient glacial lake bottom. This is some of the richest farmland in the United States and we are fortunate to be able to grow produce on this land.
