Merry Heart Farm grows all produce & raises livestock in a safe natural manner. We begin our seeds indoors with fish emulsion fertilizer or earthworm tea. We transplant our starter plants into raised beds located in several plots on the property, carefully rotating locations to reduce pests and keep the soil viable. We grow our vegetables using organic methods. We harvest fresh food each week and distribute it the same day. Jennifer Jackson is the farmer/organizer and with the help of other dedicated, purposeful men and women has been able to provide food for their families' use and additional produce and farm fresh cage free eggs(for pet consumption only) that we offer to members of our CSA.

Here is an example of one weeks harvest for our full share holders: 10 -14 oz Collards, 2-3 oz Parsley,Sage, Nasturtium Leaves, Brown lunch bag of each of carrots with tops, beets with tops, and Swiss chard, 5 - 6 oz each of 2 types of greens :Leaf Lettuce, Mesculan Mix, Spinach, Arugula, two Vidalia onions with green tops.
