It’s been a great season for the Headwaters Farm Incubator Program; one that has seen both the farm and its farmers grow by leaps and bounds.
This year there were eight farm businesses operating at Headwaters Farm. These businesses range from small scale medicinal herb operations to multi-acre vegetable production for restaurant sales. The diversity being produced onsite is evident in the range of markets where these products are sold. For example, several incubator farms practice Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)—subscription farming directly to the consumer—some of which are even forging a new approach to this model by providing bulk ‘canning shares’ of complementary preservable crops, like dill, pickling cucumbers, and garlic. Still Other farmers go with more traditional routes like selling at farmers markets or to local retail outlets. Continue reading

We are a large horse boarding facility and have a mountain of manure, enough for a large nursery, that needs to find a new home. There is some newer manure and shavings on top, but there also is a lot of well-fermented compost that is 6-8+ years old that is almost black.
We can load with our tractor. The more you can take the better.
If you are a nursery and need a large amount (hopefully all of it), there is plenty of room for commercial size trucks and backhoes and any other loader you may want to bring to load it all.
Thanks! Continue reading
