The farm is rented from Sunny Valley Preserve, a project of The Nature Conservancy. We grow produce on approximately 16 acres. Produce is sold through farmers markets, a 400-share CSA, and a small number of wholesale accounts. We produce most of the farm's transplants in our greenhouse and also grow greenhouse tomatoes in two additional hoophouses.
