Growing fresh, high-quality produce for Turtle Bay CSA members is Free Bird Farm — a small-scale, diversified, certified organic farm based in Upstate NY’s Mohawk Valley.  Free Bird Farm grows more than 100 varieties of certified organic vegetables and herbs and raises all their animals on pasture without antibiotics.

Free Bird Farm is run by a husband-and-wife team, Ken Fruehstorfer and Maryellen Driscoll, who have two young children.  Ken has nearly 20 years of farming experience. Maryellen, with over 10 years of work as a professional food writer, provides the CSA’s weekly newsletter with recipes and cooking tips. You can learn more about the farm at freebirdorganicfarm.com and freebirdfarm.blogspot.com.

As a member of the CSA you will have the opportunity to meet Ken and Maryellen, learn about the farm and chat about the produce you eat!

We plan to organize a farm trip for CSA members in June 2012.
