Winter Farm Shares for 1/10 and 1/12

Happy New Year! The mild weather has allowed our vegetables to grow nicely, so we have a delicious selection available for you this week. There is colder weather in the forecast, which means we may lose our more tender greens. We shall see! Enjoy this goodness while it's here.

For those of you that do not pick up at the farm, remember that you are always welcome to visit. Our FarmStand (self-serve) is open most days of the week in the winter (except the farm is closed Dec 23-Jan 6th). We post what's available on Facebook & Instagram and the FarmStand is across the driveway from most of our greenhouses/hoop-houses. You can always stop by and check to see how the plants are looking.

Enjoy ~
Janet, Dan, & the whole Broadfork crew

Owned and operated by Janet Aardema and Dan Gagnon, Broadfork is a small family farm in Chesterfield, VA providing the metro-Richmond area with Certified Naturally Grown vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
We use traditional European methods of biointensive, raised bed production while maximizing soil and plant health for nutrition and sustainability. No synthetic/chemical fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide, or fungicide is ever used in any part of the process of growing your food. Everything we sell is grown by us, and we farm full-time, supporting ourselves and our four children through our farm business.

Growing practices at Broadfork utilize only ecological methods: compost, cover crops, organic fertilizer, and minerals are used to feed the soil that feeds our plants. Raised beds are used to prevent soil-compaction, allowing for happier plant roots. We use organic potting soil and fertilizer, as well as amendments like fish emulsion and sea minerals. No chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides are ever used on your food and we are Certified Naturally Grown (which follows the same national standards used for Organic Certification). We are also proud members of the Virginia Association for Biological Farming and Slow Food RVA. Janet and Dan both hold Bachelor’s Degrees in Biology from Davidson and Lafayette Colleges, respectively. Janet holds a Master’s Degree in Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. We both thrive on putting our biology backgrounds to use in a farm setting and share a passion for farm education.
