There’s no doubt you can feel good about any product purchased from Closter Farm, which grows healthy, delicious vegetables and livestock following strict organic and regenerative practices. Every action the farm takes is with soil fertility and the greater ecosystem in mind, such as low-till garden beds, crop rotation, planting cover crops, on-farm composting, managed grazing, and natural pest control methods.
The animals live their best lives with full access to fresh air and shade in the summer heat while also feeding on naturally foraged goodness and organic food scraps from the vegetable harvest. Growing food and raising animals sustainably helps sequester carbon in the soil and eliminate air and water pollution caused by conventional agriculture. It also means customers can enjoy the tasty products with a clean conscience! The community means everything to Closter Farm; without its support, the small-scale farm couldn’t exist.
