Green Peak farm is the partnership of Jim and Marilyn Hand, and grower Megan Osterhout. The Hand family has long been active in community development, energy efficiency, and sustainable business and living in the Manchester area. Megan Osterhout is an alumna of Middlebury College and has spent the past six seasons growing organic produce and flowers for market, raising a variety of livestock, and maple sugaring as an apprentice farmer in Lake Placid, NY, Silverton, and Hood River, OR. Megan is also a teacher at Stratton Mountain School, where she teaches Spanish and Environmental Studies during the academic year.
One acre, one farmer, two hands. For you. Green Peak Farm hopes to have a minimal impact on the natural world by keeping things small and working within a series of size- and scale-related boundaries. You can rest assured that your produce is of the highest quality and that the impact of the farm is striving to be positive. We use a passive solar hoophouse, rainwater cachement, electricity generated by photovoltaic cells, solar hot water, and as many re-purposed goods as are usable. We are committed to investing in the local economy and other similarly small and well-intentioned organizations, and to producing food with integrity.
The farm is pleased to be full for the 2011 season of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Subscription is limted to ten families for a share in our farm's produce. Each week members pick up their portion of the harvest at the farm, which includes a selection of vegetables and access to a Make Your Own flower bouquet station. In addition, members receive four fresh or frozen, dressed broiler chickens during the season.
