About the farm
Strawberry Hill Farm is a certified organic family farm in the Saint John River Valley about 7 km outside Woodstock. We grow over 50 types of vegetables and berries plus livestock on pasture. We believe that the fewer the chemicals used to grow our food the better, from the point of view of our families' health, the health of our workers, the environment, and for the sake of our many customers who enjoy the vegetables, berries, and other farm products.
In a world where farms are growing ever larger with fewer crops, our objective is to have a farm that is diversified where all parts of the farm work together in a productive and profitable way to support the whole. The farm provides income for our family while also providing local employment and good organic food at reasonable prices.
Our main focus is on growing vegetables, fruits, and berries for our weekly vegetable boxes during the summer, fall, and winter. Our cows utilize portions of the farm that are not suited to growing vegetables. Broiler chickens, hens, and pigs raised outdoors are also a key part of our nutrient cycling program and crop rotation helping to create an organic farm system where the many parts work together to produce high quality, nutritious food in a sustainable fashion.
