Round River Farm
is solar and wind powered and uses an intensive cropping system. We use green manures, crop rotations and companion planting on our sandy loam soils. Our philosophy evolved from Conservationist Aldo Leopold's writing:

"The current is the stream of energy which flows out of the soil, into plants,
thence into animals, thence back into the soil, in a never-ending circuit of life."

From this concept we drew our farm's name, Round River. We have set forth to create a lifestyle and agriculture system that is as cyclical and natural as Leopold's Round River.

Community Supported Agriculuture
In the summer of 2006 we will offer twenty eight shares of organic produce per week for approximately 17 weeks. One full share will feed a vegetable loving family of four. Indiviuals can split shares amongst themselves. Food will be harvested weekly and placed in individual coolers to be picked up on the farm or delivered along a local route. Being a shareholder can bring you closer to the natural cycle of seasons here in the Northland. Each year provides variations of conditions that result in variations of abundance. We encourage shareholders to spend as much or as little time on the farm as desired, but we hope everyone will enjoy the experience of eating seasonally the freshest food available.
