During an age of corporate farms owning thousands of acres, we at Produce Acres are committed to the Family Farm. Our seventy-five acre farm relies on nutritional value and quality of our products not simply the quantity of our products. With generations of farming experience behind us we believe we provide the best value produce on the market.
Produce Acres moved from thought to reality in the spring of 1983 with the planting of asparagus, strawberries and raspberries. When we started farming fruits and vegetables, we did as we were told; spray for weeds, insects, fungus and blight as the calendar dates came up. The first few years we had the chemical sprayer in the field every week and some weeks twice. With all our spraying we still had weeds, insects and blight.
In 1991 we started using bacteria friendly fertilizers on our farm. We have since left the chemical sprayer in the shed and purchased an air blast sprayer for spraying foliar fertilizers. Since then we have noted healthier looking crops along with a significant increase in yield from our fields.
In 2012, we officially became a certified organic farm.
Over the years we have expanded our product line to also include cabbage, beans, onions, sweet corn, cucumbers, pickles, tomatoes, rhubarb, dill, lettuce, kale, radishes, pumpkins, potatoes, squash, ground cherries, gourds,peppers, and aronia berries. All hand-picked and organic using bio-dynamic inputs.
