Farm Company Overview

 

Who is Veggie Good Vegetable Farm?

Veggie Good Vegetable Farm is a newly-established organic vegetable farm owned and operated by Joe and Amanda Green. Joe and Amanda will be leasing 10 acres of farmland in Northfield, Vermont to begin and establish their vegetable farming business. The farm will grow beets, carrots, turnips, peppers, specialty greens, and tomatoes. Their goal is to be able to provide weekly vegetable subscription boxes by selling memberships and also sell their vegetables wholesale to nearby restaurants and cafeterias.

Veggie Good Vegetable Farm will utilize the latest technological farming equipment in order to ensure quality, taste, and responsible farming practices. Joe and Amanda see this as a marketing advantage as their competition do not currently utilize the latest technological standards.
