Kirk Farm
was certified organic in 2003, 2004, and 2005. We no longer seek
certification as it is more of a marketing program than a way
of growing. Under the new USDA rules, if a farm is not certified
they are not allowed to use the word "organic". We are growing
as we have since 1998.
As
a member you will be able to pick your own herbs from our garden and you can pick
from a planting of cherry tomatoes. Our members are invited to come to the farm
not only on pick-up day, but anytime. Come to visit the animals, picnic or to
see how your food is grown. Children are always welcome, but they must be supervised.
We have a farm pond and many types of equipment on which they could be hurt. We
will have our own free range eggs for sale. The chickens are fed un-medicated
grain and have a yard to run in. We
also sell at various farmers markets throughout the area. A list is available
on the Web site closer to the season. During
the season, volunteer help is always appreciated and welcomed, pick-up days especially.
If you have any questions
please call George or Debbie at 978-448-5871. or contact
us by email. Please
give us one week notice if you have to change your day. |
