Company description

We farm on 350 acres and grow 25 acres of a variety of vegetables and an another 20 to 30 acres of cover crops each season. This crop rotation helps us to build soil health and disrupt the weed & disease cycles.
We have a herd of Black Angus/White Park/Hereford cattle. Each season we graze up to 60 head through our pastures. We grow our own hay, baleage, and straw to provide winter feed and bedding. We also raise pastured pork in our wooded pasture. The pigs are fed certified organic grain.
Presently the farm is managed by sister farmers, Jody Bolluyt and Keri Latiolais, along with a great team of talented folks. Roxbury Farm CSA has helped to train many new farmers over the seasons. We are excited about sharing our knowledge and learning along side the farm team.
