Description

Shareholders receive a weekly delivery of freshly harvested, seasonal vegetables for 22 weeks, starting early June and finishing late October. The weekly share will average 8 items with more in the middle and less on either end of the season.One share should provide vegetables enough for two adults with two children. Farm newsletters will keep you in touch with farm activities and recipes. We do not offer half shares for those wanting less produce, but two households may buy a share together under one name and split it on their own.

We are family farmers - Brian and Justine Denison, our children Suzanna and Maggie. We have been in NY state for eight years, having moved here from Maine, where for 16 years, we grew over 100 acres of mixed vegetables. Brian is also a forester out of the University of Maine and Justine has taught elementary school, worked on the farm, and is a musician.

Denison Farm is fully committed to organic agriculture and we will follow the national organic standards. We are certified by a local agency called Certified Naturally Grown and we would like to move closer to the Biodynamic ideal of the farm as a self-sustaining organism. This Schaghticoke, NY farm is 164 acres of rich bottom land, wooded ridges, pasture/hayfields, marsh, and streams.
