"Our farmland has been taken off the market, permanently. It can never be bought or sold again. It can only be leased, and only by a farmer who commits to farming it. The lease is lifelong and inheritable, and the fee is based on the agricultural value of the land, not the market value. Affordable housing for the farmer and farm employees is also protected in perpetuity. Even in the rapidly rising country home market two and a half hours from New York City, this land and housing will always be available and affordable to a farmer.

"Roxbury Farm uses farming practices that developed out of anthroposophy. These practices allow for a great diversity of living organism on his or her farm to thrive as those systems have proven to be most efficient in harboring life and storing energy. Every aspect of the farm makes its own unique contribution to the whole. When a farm is biodynamic it is transformed from a factory, producing food and generating profit, to a being that has its own characteristics with associated strengths and weaknesses that are honored."

Farming Practices
"All our produce is grown without the input of any synthetic or artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Almost all of the vegetables are started from seed on the farm either in the field or in one of our greenhouses. The land is fertilized with aged compost and green manure crops. A very carefully planned rotation allows fields to be taken out of production to build soil fertility. This means we cultivate twice as many acres as needed for vegetable crop production. The result is that we have very low incidences of pests and diseases. We believe that soil health is the basis for sound farming.

"We chose to sign the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York's Farmer's Pledge in place of becoming certified organic. We feel the Farmer's Pledge is a reflection of why many farmers chose to become organic in the first place; to treat the people who grow the food, the customers who eat the food, and the land and animals that produce the food with dignity and respect.

"Livestock are important part of our farm. We raise sheep, pigs, and beef cattle. We strive to provide our animals with environments that best suite the instinctual needs of the animal. Our beef and lamb are 100% grass-fed and our pigs are pastured and fed organic grain."
