Company description
North Tabor Farm is a small family farm on the island of Martha's Vineyard. While not certified, we practice entirely organically and incorporate regenerative growing techniques like cover cropping, tarping, and compost application. We grow on 5 acres of land, primarily salad greens, tomatoes, other specialty vegetables. We also raise laying hens and pastured poultry. What we produce is sold mainly at our on-site farm stand and our local farmer's market. This island of Martha's Vineyard is a spectacular place to live and has a strong, young farming community.
