The Farm
Our beautiful, 18th Century family farm is located on 150 acres of rolling hills in the town of Brunswick. Rich, Linda and Sarah Bulson raise vegetables, cut flowers, pasture raised poultry, pork and grass-fed beef, using only chemical, antibiotic and hormone free sustainable farming methods.
Sustainable Farming
Our farming methods are based on a belief in diversified, small family farms with a respect for the land and the animals we raise on it. By farming sustainably, we are making a commitment to protect the land from chemicals ensuring its productivity over the long term. We are working to keep chemicals out of the food chain and to decrease energy-consumptive off-farm inputs. We strive to work with nature, instead of against it. Weeds and insect pests are controlled using mulch, cover crops, crop and animal rotation, row covers, hoeing, and by creating habitats for beneficial insects. Soil is improved using compost and cover crops.
Community Involvement
An important part of our mission for the farm is community involvement. We enjoy opening the farm to the community by hosting farm tours, educational school tours, and an internship program. We are home to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) which is a wonderful way of bringing together people who enjoy food with people who grow food, ensuring the availability of fresh safe food through local agriculture today and for future generations.
