Stonewall Farm operates a market garden style CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program that also serves as a demonstration site for regenerative farming. 2023 CSA Membership includes a 22-week share of certified organic seasonal veggies, herbs, berries, and flowers available for weekly pickup.
All of our vegetables and berries are certified organic and regeneratively grown in permanent, no-till beds. We experiment with mulching systems, cover crop mixes and herbicide-free termination methods, and equipment such as the roller-crimper and flail mower.
We incorporate and test various conservation plantings in our fields such as wildflower patches, insectary strips, hedgerows, and beetle banks to provide habitat for beneficial insects and pollinators and to manage pests that damage our crops. Our crops fields can be seen filled with pollinators, insects, birds, and wildlife. We believe these practices produce healthier crops.
