From the Field to your Family

We are super excited to to begin our 2020 growing season with you! The first delivery is always very exciting and I think we all will remember this one ( our masked farmers, haha). We are very thankful to be able to grow healthy produce and share them with your families, which make us feel we are doing our small part during the global crisis.

Here is what is happening on the farm

We erected two new High Tunnels in the field over the winter
Plants and flowers are growing
New seeds are being started each week
We have 11 new baby goats, we are waiting on one more doe to have hers
We welcomed 50 new leg horn chickens to the flock and yes, one is named Foghorn Leghorn!

We look forward to one day getting together and giving you all the grand tour!

Winslow’s Farm is located in Augusta, Mo. on an old hog farm settled in the 1800's by German immigrants. The 5 acre growing field is tucked away in a valley surrounded by rolling hills blessed with old growth trees and rich Missouri bottomland soil. Since 2005 this land has been nurtured and planted using time honored organic and natural farming principles & practices. Chickens graze in the surrounding pastures, raised for eggs and pest control, rotating fields with a herd of goats and our horse Red. The large variety of annual and perennial fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs are grown seasonally for our CSA members and select restaurants in the St Louis metropolitan area. Seed crop varieties are selected for their taste and ability to withstand pest and disease pressure. Late winter seeds are started in the green house before planting in succession on the growing field. The fields are irrigated with well water, where crops are tended closely and hand harvested daily for peak flavor.

The 100 year old structures have been carefully retrofitted for todays needs, but clean up beautifully for private events throughout the spring and summer months.
