Joining Forces

   

 

 

Field Stone Farm and Green Mountain Girls Farm are teaming up in new ways to better provide for our community. Having enjoyed years of working together and friendship, we are deepening our collaboration in an effort to strengthen our local food economy while creatively challenging the threat of small farm viability. Synergy in our practices bring us together. We share interest in soil microbiomes and the belief that healthy plants not only resist pests and diseases but also promote human health.

Beyond the fresh deliciousness and nutrient density resulting from our remineralized soils, and the intangible benefits of eating with a sustainitarian and humaneitarian footprint, our intent is that farm shoppers and farmshare members enjoy and get to know our farms. By doing so you become closer to regenerative agriculture efforts as well as our farms’ humble attempts to mix ancient ways and leading edge approaches to positively impact our society’s biggest challenges. Our techniques purposefully assemble carbon in the soil. If all food was grown this way climate change would be reversed.  Beyond that we work hard to limit or avoid nutrient run-off supporting a clean watershed, we hire local talent. Some say food from local, regenerative farms is more expensive. Is it?

Bridging our Farms so you have More Variety & Flexibility
Until now we have shared staff, ideas and equipment but in the marketplace our collaboration was limited to Field Stone Farm’s pizzas and a few vegetables available via the farmstand at Green Mountain Girls Farm. With the dual challenges of farm viability and crushing pace of contemporary lives on our mind we are synchronizing our farm strengths and, where possible, selling our products together. Ultimately this means more access to great local produce from more locations at more times!

You can:

  • Shop at our Farmstand, which is open EVERY DAY of the year for our products, Field Stone Farm’s produce and pizzas, Brookfield Bees sweets and more!
  • Shop at the Northfield Farmers Market Tuesdays 3-6 pm.  We will be together at the market, ensuring all of our great Northfield organic vegetables and meats are available every week. Starting May 15th.
  • Shop at the Montpelier Farmers Market, Saturdays 9-1, for all of Field Stone Farm’s great produce.
  • Take advantage of a delivery!  Place an order for any mix of Green Mountain Girls & Field Stone’s products and we’ll deliver to Montpelier, Brookfield or Randolph this summer for a small fee.  Contact us for more details.
