Pitchfork Farm

Born in 2006, Pitchfork Farm has grown to produce on roughly 16 acres of wonderful loam soil in Burlington's beautiful Intervale. Farmers Eric Seitz and Rob Rock work tirelessly to innovate better ways to produce beautiful, nutritious organic vegetables, and get those veggies to as many people as possible. The farm collaborates with numerous local restaurants, vends for a variety of grocery stores, operates a medium-sized seasonal CSA, and invests in the creation and delivery of locally sourced meal kits.

As organic, diversified vegetable farmers, Rob and Eric emphasize efficiency and innovation in successful farming and community outreach. They work year-round growing and delivering over 50 varieties of herbs, micro greens, pea shoots, roots, squash, greens, radishes, turnips, cabbage, carrots, melons, potatoes, tomatoes, corn, and beans. Their practices are rooted in a love of producing, providing, and eating nutritious, healthy food, combined with a commitment to a locally-based sustainable food system and the people that support it.

Upstream Ag was created to provide innovations to help others in the farming community succeed, offering tools like bag stands and prone weeders. The farm delivers produce twice a week, year-round, free of charge, to clients including restaurants, cafes, grocers, schools, and institutions. They send out a produce availability list twice a week and harvest, wash, and pack to order. The farm is known for its high-quality produce, which has been praised by local chefs for its taste and freshness.
