On our farm we trade labor for produce with working shareholders, have a handful of full-time staff, regularly host volunteers from the Stetson School in Barre, and host volunteer groups for mornings on the farm. Many Hands is our practice and belief; that farming, community, and enjoyment all go together.
Since the early 1980s we have made a priority of farming organically using an integrated growing system that includes livestock, vegetable and fruit crops. We focus on maximum fertility through soil carbon-sequestering techniques including cocktail cover cropping, heavy mulches, soil mineralization, and foliar applications of minerals and biologicals. More information about our farm products including pork, eggs, chicken, turkey, lard, the CSA, soaps, salves and tinctures is available on our website at www.mhof.net.
