Everything is homegrown
Our farm grows and changes each year. We add new products, try new things, and modify the way we operate. In 2015 we added a Hi-Tunnel to our farm to allow us to have produce earlier in the season, later in the season and we were even able to grow product all winter long! In 2016 we are going to be trying out low tunnels. In 2018 we added a Kid Zone which includes a culvert area, tire area, rope maze and more.
As well as produce we also have animals on our farm. They play a vital role in improving our soil and they are one of my favorite pastimes. We use the manure from our animals to help fertilize our soil and our animals get the benefit of eating Homegrown Produce whenever we have extra! We are looking at the option of selling halves and wholes of beef as we have them available. We only have a few as we are a small operation.
From our family to yours
What does the A & H stand for? Andrea and Hugo. We have 8 children, Ben , Drew, Suezy, Ana, Chrissy, R.J. , Rebeka, and Clara. We are blessed to have one grand baby too, Harper! They can be found working with us on the farm or at farmers’ market. Currently, Andrea is the President of the Downtown Farmers’ Market of Manhattan and works closely with other farmers’ markets to implement the SNAP program at the markets.
We are a fourth-generation family farm. My grandfather started farming in the 1940s and the farming gene has been passed down with each generation. Our children are now growing up on the family farm.
Wholesome fun for all!
The Pumpkin Patch and U-Pick Strawberry Patch are two major events on our farm. Each year these activities grow and new activities are added. Our goal is to provide a fun family place you can visit. We spend lots of time planning and setting up our farm so that you can enjoy a piece of our farm life. We hope you come and visit our unique farm!
From farm to table
Farm to Table Boxes are a fantastic opportunity for small-scale farmers and local consumers to join forces. The idea is simple. Your household or family becomes a “shareholder” in our farm by making a commitment to buy from us before the start of the growing season. We then fill our greenhouse and fields with crops grown specifically for you, harvested fresh each week at their peak of ripeness.
By choosing to participate in our FTB, you are guaranteed sales ahead of the harvest, allowing us, your farmers, freedom to focus on producing high quality food. Your advance share payments provide funds to purchase seeds and growing supplies in the spring, when we most need them. In exchange for this reasonable price, you will certainly eat produce that is of exceptional taste and freshness. You will also enjoy knowing just how your produce dollars are supporting a Manhattan family farm.
