Producer

Joe’s Brook Farm is a vegetable farm offering certified organic produce and berries through its CSA, local farmers markets, and on-site farm stand. Owned and operated by Mary and Eric Skovstead, the farm's produce can also be found in area restaurants, coops, stores, and schools. At the root of Joe’s Brook Farm is a deep desire to live, work, and make a home in Barnet, Vermont.

Joe's Brook Farm, a VOF-certified farm, believes in responsible stewardship of the land and water, implementing agriculture strategies that increase biodiversity, improve soil quality, and protect groundwater quality. To keep the land healthy and reduce its environmental footprint, the Joe's Brook team uses a combination of soil tests, cover crops, and minimal tillage. They strive to grow at the right scale: not too big, not too small, navigating a balancing act aimed at conserving soil, maintaining a quality of life for employees, and ensuring the farm's financial viability, all while keeping the food affordable and available to as many people as possible.
