PRODUCE
At Wingate Farm we strive to grow healthy, delicious produce while responsibly caring for our soils. We thoughtfully select cultivars well-suited to our climate, rotate crop families, and use soil-rejuvenating cover crops. We practice low till and no till solarizing techniques to prepare our field in order to support our soils microbiome, and the plants we grow in it. We are not certified organic, but our practices are. Wingate has received several grants from the National Resource Conservation Service to build four "high tunnel" greenhouse structures, which we use to extend our growing season and to house our laying hens in the winter months. In the spring we move the bedding and manure from our designated chicken tunnel into a steaming pile that composts for a year. Each spring we use the previous years compost to enrich and fertilize our vegetable fields.
We believe healthy food comes from healthy soils. We do not use any synthetic fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides or pesticides.
We sell our produce, flowers and eggs at the Brattleboro Area Farmers Market.
