Pilgrims Produce
We marry modern organic practices with tried and true techniques. For example, for season extension we use high-tunnel greenhouses; for pest management, row-covers; for weed control, stale-bedding, flame-weeding and old-fashioned hoeing! With fruit and nut orchards, some using permaculture principles, a wild habitat area, berries, plus about 7 acres planted in garden-style veggies from Asparagus to Zucchini, this farm has a lot going on!
It all began in 1991 when Robert and Kathryn Hettler and their four children returned from working with poor farmers in Brazil. Robert felt a sense of calling to grow organic food in a sustainable way for our local community.
While Pilgrims’ Produce celebrated it’s 30th farming season in April of 2021, the farm hands officially changed and the first year for the new owners began. Robert and Kathryn Hettler are now enjoying retirement life on the farm while Dan and Kat Saxton and family are beginning their new adventure farming!
