About Our Gardens
In 2020 we converted totally to no till agriculture! Our Pomfret, Vermont gardens have 48 beds with rows of vegetables divided by 8’ deep paths of wood chips. decomposition of annual mulch to increase soil fertility, sequester carbon while preserving soil structure, and results in higher production of more nutritious vegetables and a decrease in our carbon footprint!
In our plots we grow fresh produce for our local food shelf and for families with whom we are working: beets, carrots, lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, beans, peas, corn, cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, chard, celery, garlic, scallions, onions, turnips, rutabagas, melons, cucumbers, squash, and more. In July and August, we deliver over 100 pounds a week!
Our root cellar located in Woodstock is used to keep our vegetables fresh, without increasing our carbon footprint. Here, our cellar allows us to keep providing the food shelf with vegetables, long beyond the regular growing season.
