Overview
Third-generation organic herb, vegetable, and microgreen farm serving retail and wholesale customers.
Gilbertie's Herb Gardens is a four-generation family farm with roots going back to the early 1920s, when the business began as a cut flower operation. Today it grows more than 300 varieties of herbs, 100 varieties of vegetables, and over 40 varieties of microgreens and salad blends. Third-generation grower Sal Gilbertie has been a leading expert on herbs and vegetables for more than fifty years. The Easton farm serves wholesale trade customers, while a separate retail garden center operates in Westport. Sal has also authored multiple cookbooks on cooking with herbs and microgreens. Learn more on their About Page.
All plants at Gilbertie's Herb Gardens are 100% USDA Certified Organic, a status the farm has held since February 2009 after completing the USDA three-year certification process. Herbs, vegetables, and microgreens are grown in soil using a custom organic soil blend the farm spent four years developing. No hydroponics are used. Rather than applying chemical pesticides, the farm releases beneficial insects to manage harmful ones. Microgreens and cut greens are hand-seeded and hand-harvested on the farm. The farm is also GAP and HACCP food safety certified, and all water used in production is UV treated. The farm is certified organic by Baystate Organic Certifiers and describes itself as the largest certified organic grower in New England.
