They’re ready! Dave will be taking his delicious certified organic strawberries to the Waitsfield Farmer’s Market on Saturday, and they will be available at our farm stand this weekend–weather permitting–and while supplies last.
City Market in Burlington will also be selling Dave’s strawberries! Have you seen their produce? It’s spectacular.
Nice article in last week’s Valley Reporter on the hydroponic greenhouse.
Mehuron’s is supposed to be carrying the lettuce and basil regularly now. And, you’ll see them at City Market in Burlington (this Fall & Winter), Healthy Living in South Burlington, Natural Provisions in Williston, RJ Friendly’s market in Waterbury, Richmond Market and Beverage, and more…the list is expanding.

Seeking Hydroponic Harvesting Help: Dave Hartshorn is looking for volunteers: 2 people for 2 hours per day (7am-9am) each day of the week (ideally a group of people that rotate days) to help harvest in the hydroponic greenhouse. The man needs some sleep (he’s been getting up at 2am to harvest for 4 hours and then start working on the organic farm). And, in return the volunteers will receive fresh, delicious, hydroponic produce, work in a very pleasant climate controlled environment, no bending over is required as the trays are above waist high, and be helping launch this year round, chemical free, food growing machine in Waitsfield. Anyone interested, please contact me. Message me here or give me a call: 922-1832. Thanks so much! Amy
What is a hydroponic greenhouse? What can be grown in Vermont year round?
Come see Dave and his two partners, Ted and John Farr’s, new agricultural venture: Green Mountain Harvest Hydroponics today from noon to 4.
It’s an open house to view the facility, learn about hydroponic growing, and what is and will be available year round here in Waitsfield, taste some hydroponic produce and take home a free head of lettuce.
Location is NOT Hartshorn Farm, but IS Hartshorn Road (just up the road to the next street sign from the farm heading towards Moretown). 199 Hartshorn Road. You can’t miss the 2 greenhouses.

As you may know, Dave’s system is very flexible and totally unique, you decide how much you want to spend. Generally the average CSA for a couple is about $300.
Spend your CSA dollars at the Waitsfield farmer’s market, the farm stand, or even for Pick Your Own berries. Super convenient.
