Description

Members can either pick up shares at the farm, located just south of Columbia, one mile past the Pierpont Store on Route N, or at the Wednesday Farmer's Market. See flyer for details. Our CSA runs from mid May to late October, a total of 23 weeks. We start off with asparagus, lettuce, spinach, cooking greens, radishes, carrots, etc. and cycle through about everything you can grow in Missouri. We provide a different way of eating with the seasons to get the tastiest, freshest and healthiest produce available. We also offer our free-range eggs and pastured poultry as well as pork from Crocker Farms and milk from a Missouri dairy.

Pierpont Farms is a family-owned and run operation located just outside the city limits of Columbia, MO. We offer a 23 week CSA of vegetables, some fruits, herbs and flowers all grown sustainably with compost, cover crops, row covers, irrigation from a pond and crop rotations along with many other non-chemical methods of ongoing soil improvement. We utilize high tunnels to extend our season and protect tender crops.

We grow all our own produce including 40 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, 12 varieties of lettuces, several varieties of beans, cucumber, melons, onions, carrots, beets and too many others to list here .

We have free-range eggs from heritage breeds and pastured poultry raised on our farm and processed locally. We grow a wide variety of vegetables and limited amounts of blueberries and raspberries.
