Our 2009 conference on January 9 will feature an up close look at the innovative systems of two successful farm operations. Half Pint Farm will be one of the featured enterprises. To learn more and register for the conference, send an email to localfoodproject@airlie.org.
Mara and Spencer Welton grow baby greens and gourmet specialty crops for direct sale to farmer’s markets and restaurants and wholesale to local grocery stores in Burlington, Vermont. Looking ahead to its seventh season, Half Pint Farm began as an incubator project at the Intervale, a reclaimed urban waste site that now hosts a network of thriving small farms.
The Weltons have purposefully kept Half Pint small, finding the one and a third acres a perfect size for two people to manage and capable of producing exquisite vegetables that stand out for their taste, nutrition, and uniqueness. Check out Half Pint Farm’s website to learn more.
Next time, we'll share a peak at how Essex Farm offers CSA members a full grocery bag of good food!
