NorthAcres Farm

Greetings Locavores! We believe that happy bluebirds are a great indicator for the overall diversity, sustainability and health of our farm. We are totally committed to providing fresh greens, herbs and garlic to local consumers.  We also raise pastured broilers, lambs and goats.

Description:

CSA = Community Supported Agriculture, meaning that consumers pre-purchase a ‘subscription’ for a season’s worth of fresh, sustainably raised produce direct from the farm.

NorthAcres Farm CSA = 16 weeks of locally grown salad greens, vegetables, herbs and fruits.

Chris Wallner and Jane Hansen are committed to living sustainably.  This includes energy efficiency, avoidance of chemicals, conserving water and soil, and generally treading softly upon the earth.

 Jane plants a diversity of vegetables, greens, herbs, flowers and fruits and moves them through the garden in an eight year rotation.  Pesticides and herbicides have never been used in her garden.  Instead, beneficial insects are encouraged and plants are allowed to develop their own resistance to pests which increases the nutrients for us.

 The animals raised on the farm are moved across the pastures in a system called ‘management intensive grazing’.  The pasture plants are allowed to recover fully between grazings and therefore offer more nutrition to the animals and high quality meat to us. 

Additional products available from NorthAcres Farm:

Whole lamb or goat raised on pasture -  rotationally grazed.  Reserve now for mid-October processing.  Lambs and goats will be processed at a local processing facility for you to pick up.
