Overview
Family-run vegetable farm offering CSA shares and a wide variety of produce grown beyond organic standards.
Five Hands Farm is a family-run vegetable farm rooted in a Bruce family property dating to the late 1800s. Tom Bruce, who grew up on the land, began farming it alongside his wife Rhonda and their three sons Nash, Luke, and Will, whose five sets of hands give the farm its name. Nash now manages the day-to-day cultivation of the land. The farm grows an extensive range of vegetables and fruits, from lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, and sweet corn to micro greens, kohlrabi, and many varieties of winter squash. Produce is available through a weekly CSA program and at select retail and pickup locations. Five Hands Farm also serves as a custom grower for partner restaurants. Learn more on their About Page.
Five Hands Farm follows practices that meet or exceed USDA organic standards and go beyond them. The farm uses no synthetic fertilizers, chemical herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides. Its fertilizer program relies mainly on plant-based compost made on-site and from Purple Cow Organics, supplemented with cured chicken manure and OMRI-listed liquid fertilizer on select crops. When sprays are needed, only OMRI-listed, organically approved products are applied, sparingly and on select crops. Practices include meticulous crop rotation (including fallow rotations), minimal-disturbance tillage, composting, annual soil testing, and efficient irrigation. A buffer plot protects crops from possible drift from neighboring farms. All seeds are non-GMO, with no conventional treatments or coatings, and are sourced from suppliers including High Mowing Organic Seeds and Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
