Garden of Eve Organic Farm

Eve, and her husband, Chris, got started in 2000 during a prolific first season in their hobby garden. They had a surplus of zucchini and were invited to sell at a nearby farmers market. By the end of the first market day they had $40 bucks and new careers.

In their 20 years as growers, they have mastered the learning curve. One of their most important lessons has been to become efficient. "Farming can be unlimited work," she explains, "You have to be strategic. We focus on people's favorites - organic sweet corn, red, white, and blue potatoes, tomatoes, head lettuces, and other foods - the things people look for."

As a certified-organic farm, they do not spray herbicides, use any chemical insecticides, or petroleum-based fertilizers. A lot of people ask "Is Organic farming harder than chemical farming?". Eve and Chris don't think so, having been organic right from the start. "We have realistic expectations about our crop yields," Eve says, "And we don't mind sharing a bit with the soil, or the rest of the ecosystem." It's a recipe that has brought Garden of Eve sustainability, and success over the past two decades.
