One thing we never get sick of sharing with our food and farm family is our love of CSA. By becoming a member not only do you help invest in our farm’s future and assure we can provide delicious and wholesome organic food for generations to come but you also get first pick of our […]
“Leave the world better than you found it” is a phrase I’m no stranger to, especially through my exploration and adoption of organic farming over the years. When I take visitors to the farm on a tour, our first stop is an empty field. I explain to them that this is our “solar powered hamburger […]
Getting any opportunity to celebrate all things CSA is exciting for us here at Elmwood Stock Farm, and we’re excited to be participating in this year’s CSA week! And this year feels particularly special as we honor our 20th year of offering CSA to our customers and community. From forty-five members the first year to […]

We have always tried to align our protein availability with the main farmers market and CSA Farm Share seasons to be sure you have access to […]

Other than needing to sow some veggie seeds and move some fences, this solar-powered-food farm is set to run pretty much by itself. Cows calve and ewes lamb in the spring, timed to match the […]
