Greentree Naturals

Greentree Naturals has been a certified organic farm since 1992. Our CSA program began in 1995 and has continued to expand to support our local community food system by providing specially selected hand-picked, fresh clean produce delivered within 24 hours of harvest. Our mission is to provide fresh, nutritious, high-quality organic produce to our local community. We provide a place for organic gardening workshops; hands-on learning through agricultural related activities, and on-farm research. We are committed to forging partnerships with other farmers and educators, working together to create a more sustainable future.

Since we set up this website, we have had many people call us wanting to come out to the farm for a "visit." We also have had folks just drive up the driveway asking us "are you open?" I never really know quite what to say other than "no, we are not open." Our website is "open" for visitors that want to drop in whenever they feel like it. Our farm, however, is a working farm. What this means is, we are working! We can't get the work done if we are stopping to give farm tours and take on visitors looking for a way to spend their time while on vacation. James Taylor has a line in some old song that chimes "time can't buy us money, and money can't buy us time.." and this is true. We are willing to make appointments for folks to come out, but our time is challenged. If we are visiting with you wonderful people who want to come and visit this organic farm, we are not working, which is what we need to do to survive and make our mortgage payments.

You are free to call or email and see if we can set a time and date that works around our schedule which is quite insane during the growing season. We really love sharing the beauty of our place; it's just that every time we stop to show it off, we are no longer making the income we need to make. If you want to put on your grubby clothes and come out and help us work, we might be willing to let you have that experience. We might even consider hosting a private party on the farm for a fee and are willing to work with our local chef to make this personal affair an event everyone will remember forever! Otherwise, you might have a better chance of seeing the farm by attending one of the events listed on the What's Happening on the Farm page.
