About Us
To help ensure our vision of "healthy land, healthy people and healthy communities", The Herb Hill farm uses regenerative agriculture practices in our dairy, poultry and crop enterprises. We take an Holistic Management approach to managing our farm.

Regenerative agriculture with Holistic Management practices describe farming and grazing methods that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil biological life, including organic matter, and restoring soil with biodiversity resulting in both carbon sequestration and improved waterways.

These practices increase the health of our soil providing high quality organic vegetables. Organic practices increase our yields and produce more nutritious, organic food while alleviating weed and pest pressure. In addition, they sustain the health and well-being of the livestock that graze our soils. It is truly a natural regenerative system. Simply put our soils feed the crops we grow, our crops feed us.

"An agriculture focused on regenerative practices is by definition an agriculture focused on improving soil health through increased soil carbon and life in the soil. While industrial agriculture has been mining the soil of minerals, fertility, and life for the last 50+ years, regenerative agriculture is about growing and feeding soil life." - www.holisticmanagement.org

We grow plenty of greens and typical vegetables for you to in enjoy in the growing season. Our farm grows real food you can trust for your family. Healthy food starts with healthy land and organic seed. Grown in our certified organic soil, with our own compost, you can expect simply, pure organic produce. Local flavor, hand-picked for you just before packing, your vegetables are the freshest tasting they can be. Our produce can be found at the farm in Pepperell, at Flatbread Restaurant in Bedford, and Fuse Bistro in Lowell. We are certified organic through Baystate Organic Certifiers.
