Adam's Berry Farm

In 2001, the farm started with 300 plants in the mountains of Lincoln, Vermont. After realizing the limitations of the growing season, the farm moved to the Intervale, where it spent 12 years building community and establishing its business. Continual flooding led to a transition to higher ground in East Charlotte in 2012. Working with the Vermont Land Trust and the Farmland Access Program, the farm secured a new home on conserved farmland, allowing for long-term stability and expansion.

The farm adheres to certified organic practices, focusing on reducing exposure to chemical pesticides and fertilizers. The farming philosophy is rooted in the belief that food should be grown in a way that the farmers themselves would consume and feed to their families. The farm prioritizes healthy, active soils and ensures that surrounding waterways are not impacted by farm run-off. Workers are treated well and are not exposed to harmful substances.

The farm offers a Pick Your Own experience from June to mid-October, starting with strawberries and ending with fall-bearing raspberries. It serves as a hub for socializing and community events, fostering connections between people, their food, and the natural landscape. The farm collaborates with local chefs, food businesses, breweries, and other farms to strengthen the local food system. It values customer education about the importance of supporting local and organic food, and encourages buying directly from farmers and local markets to support the Vermont economy.
