New Traditions Farm is deeply committed to practicing sustainable and organic agriculture.Work on our farm is conducted much in the same way it has been for generations: by the sweat of our brow and work of our hands. Absolutely no synthetic chemicals, pesticides or herbicides are permitted.

All of our vegetables are harvested and processed by hand, insuring an impeccable product that has been handled with the utmost care.
All of our vegetables are distributed directly from our farm to your table. Whether you're a chef or a CSA shareholder, you can be sure that your produce will have been picked and packed within 24-hours of purchase.
Our Practices:

   - We plant 100% GMO - free crops, most of which are open-pollinated heirloom varieties
   - We utilize locally sourced compost, fertilizer and inputs including fish fertilizer made from invasive Asian Carp
