ORDER PEACHES FOR PICKUP Sometimes it’s good to have friends in high places. Many years ago, Mac connected with Steve Ela when they both agreed to serve on the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) board as farmer-members. While Mac was building his organic revolution, Steve was growing hundreds of acres of organic peaches, pears and […]
ORDER CORN FOR PICKUP Few summer staple foods bring us as much joy as fresh sweet corn on the cob. But have you ever wondered how it comes to be? Turns out the perfect ear of corn is not the easiest thing to achieve, especially when growing it organically. But first, a little lesson on […]
Part of what we pride ourselves on here at Elmwood Stock Farm is giving our food and farm family the chance to fully experience the farm on all levels which is why we’re so excited to announce that U-Pick is now open here on the farm for the very first time! Currently a variety of […]

When we think of Mother’s Day we can’t help but immediately think of someone we celebrate each and every day here on the farm – Mother Earth! This year we invite you to join us in a showcase of all her natural splendors in the form of our upcoming farm tour as well as gifts […]
Over the past few weeks we’ve had a crop (pun intended) of new visitors to our new-and-improved farm store and are excited to welcome even more as the weather starts to warm up. That’s why we wanted to share our current farm store favorites with you – remember, you’re welcome to stop by and shop […]
If you’ve been waiting for more of our Berkshire pork, you’re in luck! We just did a big restock with plenty of bacon, chops and more, including hams for Easter ready for shipping or pick up. Compared to our beef and produce, our Berkshire pork is a relatively new offering. It all started back […]
