About Us

 

We are Dandelion Farm: a 2-acre farm in Westford, Vermont growing vegetables, cut flowers, and berries.  We grow all this while taking care of the soil, waterways, forests, and our community. We believe in the importance of a vibrant and resilient local food system: one that fills fridges, plates, and bellies with delicious and healthy food. We are proud to play a part in our local food scene and strengthen the connection between people and agriculture .

Our Practices

We’re grounded in regenerative methods. We focus on fostering soil microbiology, building organic mater, and encouraging biodiversity. This helps our gardens and surrounding ecosystem thrive. Our practices reflect our reverence for nature as we steward the land and yield in abundance. 

We are a low-till farm and cultivate primarily by hand or with small, battery-powered tools. This practice promotes organic matter, microbes, and mycorrhizae networks that contribute to the health of our soil. We employ organic practices, avoiding heavy chemicals and pesticides, and instead utilize Integrated Pest Management, like adding beneficial nematodes and companion planting to reduce  pest pressure.
