Eighth Day Farm
We offer a wide variety of vegetables and herbs while providing larger quantities of the popular staples such as beans, cucumbers, greens and lettuces, onions, peppers, summer squash and tomatoes. Outside of a few you pick items, no labor is required.
Eighth Day Farm is a quasi-urban farm seeking to educate local residents on food issues while offering CSA shares. Our farming philosophy at Eighth Day Farm is to avoid all synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides. We see the farm as part of a delicate ecosystem which, though we shape with our planting and picking, we honor with techniques that promote the biological diversity that brings balance and wholeness. We see the farm as natural habitat, complete with soil, air, water, bacteria, insects, and birds alongside herbaceous and woody plant life. In honoring our Creator we hold to a land ethic that builds a living soil through less tilling, more cover cropping and green manures, thoughtful crop rotations, and diverse cropping.
