At Handsome Brook Farm, we are committed to incorporating sustainable principles into our farm planning and practice. We are blessed to live in an incredibly rich and diverse ecosystem and our goal is to preserve and promote its health and diversity.
To that end we practice organic farming in our blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry fields. This means that all fertilizers and soil amendments are Certified Organic. Our pest control is done manually and with the assistance of our friendly Guinea Fowl. You
can be assured that our berries are “naturally delicious”!
Our farm animals…pigs, horses, calves, and lambs… are happy and healthy…and raised on our meadow grasses and local hay during our snowy winters. Our chickens are free to roam around the farm during the day, and each evening know to go back to their coop for their night’s rest.
Our vegetable gardens and our family berry patch are close by the house….just walk out
the door and pick your morning berries, or an afternoon salad with fresh spinach, lettuce, and beautiful heirloom tomatoes! And, again, all of our vegetables are grown without pesticides or herbicides.
