VIDA farm

My name is Jesse and I produce vegetables, herbs, flowers, seeds, and geeky experiments on my farm. I wasn't raised on a farm, but nature has been an integral part of my life. Even when I was a tiny terror I would help my mom and grandma with the garden. In the recent past I've explored a variety of different systems by working at places like The Pfeiffer Center, Turtle Tree Seed Initiative, and Stone Barns Center. My aim is to build healthy soils and grow nourishing plants in the context of this ecosystem. I'll be pursuing a blend of natural farming (Masanobu Fukuoka) and biodynamic agriculture (Rudolf Steiner), both of which are robust forms of holistic management, as well as experimenting with innovative production methods. There won't be conventional nor organic pesticides used here! When the season's in full swing, you'll have four ways to get your hands on fresh field goodies. I�ll be updating the website weekly to make sure you know what's available. 1) Order Tuesday or Thursday for next day pickup at the farm. 2) Order Monday or Wednesday for next night delivery (depending on your location). 3) Come by the Made in Ghent farm store on the weekend. 4) Sign up for a weekly produce box! Membership is capped at ten so that logistics can be perfected in year one, for a fuller CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) in year two. Maybe you have unanswered questions, need help with your own garden, or want to share stories over a cup of coffee or tea. I'd love to hear from you, so please get in touch!
