Farming the way nature intended.
We use sustainable and regenerative practices to grow delicious food, support the development of diverse local ecosystems, and create healthy soil for future generations.
Permaculture orchard
Bowterra Farm is a unique and beautifully diverse farm. The orchard is our own Garden of Eden. We grow a diverse variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants using permaculture principles including food forests, no-till soil management, and humane livestock care. This minimizes the amount of maintenance work, increases the food’s nutritional value, and supports a wide variety of wildlife.
Organic mushrooms
Our mushrooms are not only absolutely delicious, they are an integral part of our farm’s ecosystem. We grow a variety of oyster mushrooms and lion’s mane. The leftover growing material gets reused as a natural fertilizer for our orchard, saving more than 35,000 pounds of waste annually and creating a healthy, balanced soil ecosystem.
You can buy our mushrooms by visiting the farm or finding us at a local farmer’s market.
Humanely raised livestock
We raise chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese and quail with love and care. They openly graze throughout the orchard and provide us with natural pest control and nutrient-dense fertilizer.
You can buy our livestock products by visiting the farm or finding us at a local farmer’s market.
