Batten Bay Farm is a produce and cut-flower farm that is totally committed to all natural and sustainable agricultural methods for growing our crops. This provides our customers and family with fresh, safe, healthy, and tasty vegetables throughout the season. We utilize, almost exclusively, compost for fertilizer, and use no chemical herbicides or pesticides. The organic standards we use protects and builds our soil, without damaging the environment and water.

Our goal is to provide local, healthy, fresh food, that tastes better because it is chemical free and has not been transported and stored for days and sometimes weeks. However, eating fresh and local also means eating seasonally.

When you purchase a share you are provided with food from our harvest each week. A share varies depending on the season and the vegetables available at that time. Below is a sampling of what could be in a share:

Spring: spinach, onions, beets, greens (kale, mustard & turnip), peas, radishes, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli

Summer: cucumber, summer squash, green beans, eggplant, tomatoes, sweet corn, okra, cantaloupes, onions, potatoes, peppers, zucchini, watermelons, carrots, radishes, greens
