About The Forbes Family Farm
We weren’t born farmers, but an interest in healthy eating and a passion for cooking led us to start gardening in whatever space we had available. Eventually we quit our corporate jobs to begin a small farm where we could grow the highest quality food, not only for our own family, but for our local community as well. We love connecting people in our community with locally grown food. CSA memberships are our primary outlet for selling and distributing the products we produce on our farm. Each week from spring to autumn members receive a harvest of whatever is in season on the farm.
In the farm's own words, from its USDA listing.
