From Arugula to Zucchini
The Good for You Natural Market maintains its own 1-acre farm, located just down Route 9 from the store. We are not certified organic yet, but we follow all of the rules of the USDA National Organic Program. All of the seed we use to grow our produce is certified organic. We are free of synthetic herbicides, synthetic pesticides, and, synthetic fertilizers. We do not use animal manures, nor commercial composts. We rotate our crops within season and from season to season. We use drip irrigation and our well was drilled an extra 25 feet deeper than usual to minimize any potential for nutrient leaching into groundwater. We use cover cropping to build the soil and, as experience taught me this season (2007), cover cropping does indeed cut down on weeds! Hmmm.

Welcome to the farm.

While our Arugula and greens have become our fame, we also grow beans, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, peas, peppers, potatoes, spinach, squash, tomatoes. Everything from Arugula to Zucchini and in-between. We specialize in heirloom and usual varieties that cannot be found in big box retailers. We know the story behind the varieties. The varieties are staggering. 12 varieties of loose-leaf lettuce, 14 varieties of tomato, blue and purple potatoes, purple carrots, lemon cucumbers… Buy Andy a beer (organic) and he’ll bore you for hours. Produce grown is shipped all of 1/2 mile to our selling point on Route 9 West. Imagine the freshness. Veggies picked and sold the same day.
We also sell our produce at the following area Farmers Markets:
Historic Lewes Farmers Market. Web http://www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org

While our farm rested for much of this summer season, we will be back for Fall with our famous Arugula, Swiss Chard, Kale, loose leaf Lettuce mixes, Mustard Greens, Spinach, and, Tatsoi. Also we’re looking forward to the 2008 season, reuniting us for a full season with our farmers markets and local friends.
Here are some of our strongest supporters of our farm this season and past season. Please visit these local businesses and tell them Good For You says hello.
