What does that mean? In these days of endless fields of corn and soybeans, people are realizing that the farms of our grandparents and great-grandparents had more than a few things right. They built farms that actually fed the people who worked the land. They built farms that fed their neighbors with the same food and then kept ten different small businesses in place with the farm's needs and patronage. If one crop failed, there was no bankruptcy because three other products would do well that season. In the same way, many farms are re-awakening to the successes of the past. Having multi-layered food systems in place allows for variety, security and is naturally better for the environment. It more accurately mimics Nature and the way it makes sure everything is tied together, working as one.
St. Brigid's Meadows is a farm that not only feeds it's families well, but offers a wonderfully diverse food system. Everything in its time–we have syrup in the late winter/early spring; ramps, morels and early veggies in late spring; chicken, shiitake mushrooms and a garden abundance in the summer; and apples, pumpkins and other storage veggies, along with pork in the fall. Not without season, we do offer eggs, chicken and beef throughout the year. We invite you to take a closer look at our products and see how this diversified farm eco-system works.
