WELCOME TO WATERBEAR FARM 2012
We began farming here at Waterbear Mountain in 1993, and became certified organic in 1995. We produce over 24 different vegetables, herbs and small fruits. Our farm includes 7 acres under cultivation, 12 acres of pasture for our livestock to graze, and 80 acres of sustainably harvested timber. We are currently the largest Certified Organic farm in the New River Valley, and are locally known for growing some of the best-tasting produce in the area.
We cultivate soils and plants in time with the moon cycles and natural rhythms using biodynamic and certified organic farming practices. Biodynamic methods stimulate and enhance biological activity in a positive way. With the use of special "preparations" (such as prepared manure, silica-rich rock powder, herbs, and other plant materials in combination with compost), thus our produce takes on increased vitality and resistance to disease.
2012 marks our third year offering a Community Supported Agriculture Program and providing food for over 100 members. Our produce and meats can also be found at Roanoke Natural Foods Co-op, The Harvest Moon and Sweet Providence Farm Market, Eats and Annie Kay's Natural Food Store.
