The Red Basket Farm

We follow sustainable and natural farming practices. The use of cover crops, crop rotations, compost and organic fertilizers all help to promote healthy soils. Healthier soils in turn produce healthy plants for better tasting and longer lasting food. Most of our products are raised herbicide and pesticide free and are picked at the peak of flavor.

Our website will assist you in understanding why the small family farm and knowing where you food comes from is so important to you and your family.

Why Naturally Grown Produce

is so important...

The Red Basket Farm is a small family farm specializing in the growing and selling of local, fresh and unique produce.

It all started the summer of 2002 with a few rows of sweet corn.

Today we raise several acres of corn and vegetables and we

are well known locally for our gourmet sweet corn varieties.

Most produce that is bought or supplied locally at Supermarkets has been shipped an average of 1500 miles. Some items are even shipped from as far away as China - How Fresh is that?. Not only is the freshness an issue, Transportation causes environmental issues.

Our produce is raised on our farm and is picked and shipped only when ready. This leads to not only better tasting food but also a longer shelf life and more useable product with less waste. Season extending practices of growing under row covers and in "high tunnel" greenhouses allows produce to be supplied before and beyond their normal season.
