Our Farm:​

In 2006, we began farming in Saint Johnsbury, VT with the intent to take a chance at a partnership with God – the one who makes everything grow.  We have been following the National Organic Program (NOP) since 2006 but our certification is ‘Certified Naturally Grown’ (CNG).  CNG, a grassroots organization, seeks to raise the bar beyond organic and provide small famers like us with the support needed to produce nutrient dense, safe, non-gmo crop for our customers as well as help us be better stewards of the soils, crop, pollinators and people entrusted to our care.  

What We Grow:

​Organic (cng) Heirloom Apples  

Organic (cng) Blueberries  

Organic (cng) Peppermint

Organic (cng) Raspberries

Organic (cng) Strawberries

Organic (cng) Hazelnuts --- (3rd year ‘Test’ phase of growth)

​Our Confections & Teas:

​Our confections, Apple Butter & Teas are an extension of the farm's mission.  Fruit, Nuts, Spices & Herbs we cannot grow in Vermont are sourced from as many U.S. family farms as possible.  We seek farmers who share in our mission to follow genuine organic / natural growing practices.  

Creating authentic confections rich in whole fruit, nut, spice and cacao without added sugar, preservatives, additives, extracts, flavorings, etc, is our aim.  We take great pleasure in the art of "handcrafting", from hand cutting, zesting and drying fresh fruit and spices for the ganache and garnishes to controlling flavor profiles by roasting and salting raw nuts.  

The principle of growing non-gmo crops is continued as we seek to gather non-gmo ingredients to make our confections.   Fine European Couverture Chocolate is preferred because of the higher quality Criollo and Trinitario cacao beans, higher cacao butter content with less sugar/milk.  Our chocolate makers go to great lengths to ensure that the superior standards established for their luxurious Couverture are achieved with each batch we purchase.  

Even though our kitchen is not certified gluten free, all of our confections contain absolutely no gluten, with the only exception of our chocolate dipped cookies.  We craft a variety of confections for Vegans and those who chose to reduce their sugar intake.  

Farm Blog:
