We have sought out to provide in-demand growing supplies for our regional producers to help increase efficiency on their operations. Following our mission statement of building upon agricultural and food traditions to create healthy, resilient, and economically viable food systems.

Since 2015, our products and services have expanded to meet the needs of more growers. We offer a variety of materials and services including: fertilizer, low tunnels, reusable weed block, trellising equipment, soil amendments, shade and insect netting,and more. We also have made a series of kits available that are based on prominent issues in the garden: season extension and pest and weed management.

We are continuing our high tunnel enterprise while expanding our services to include the design and installation of roof run-off water catchment and micro ‘drip’irrigation systems.
