Growing Practices
All Open Woods vegetables are certified organic by MOFGA Certification Services.
The farm is tiny, but several crop rotations per season mean production is relatively high.
Community composting for climate resiliency
Open Woods is off-grid and uses minimal tillage.
Practices like permanent raised beds, mulching, and cover cropping mitigate soil erosion on a hillside farm.
More Importantly…
These vegetables taste good. You'll like them. But it's okay if you don't. Not everyone likes kale.
These vegetables will last a long long time. They were harvested the day before market. They travelled 20 minutes down the road, not days across the country.
You'll have fun eating your favorite things like lettuce mix and juicy tomatoes. It'll probably make you happy. You'll also enjoy eating new things like hot pink watermelon radishes or fragrant fennel.
You'll get to share food joy with the person who grew your food. Hi! It's me! Fun!
