Henry's Farm

Henry's Farm grows more than 50 vegetable crops, with variety counts per crop ranging from a single selection to 80 or more, including heirloom varieties tied to Native American agricultural traditions and seeds brought by immigrants. The farm does not use herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, or other biocides, and emphasizes maintaining a balanced ecosystem rooted in healthy soil. Brockman describes his approach as working with nature to protect soil ecology, conserve energy and resources, and sequester carbon in the soil through crop growth and organic matter. Biodiversity across the fields is a stated cornerstone of the farming method, with the goal of creating an environment that supports healthy plants, insects, animals, and soil life.
