greenhouses are nearly buried in snow, the tractors are tucked away in
the shed and the garage, the farm is quiet, but Robin Turner and Jess
Weatherhead are still busy. You don’t get much of a vacation when
you’re an organic vegetable farmer.
“We just finished a six-day course in holistic management,” said
Turner, “and we went to a conference in Sarasota Springs, New York with
a lot of other organic farmers. We talked to one farmer who has three
greenhouses packed with stuff to sell at winter markets.”

roster. The farm grows certified organic vegetables on 10 acres beside
the Bakkers’ General Store on Mitch Owens Rd.
