Our Old Island Market Farm ABOUT OUR MARKET GARDEN

We are Russ & Vanessa Anthony.

Recently relocated from the big city, we've been slowly developing our land to provide us with our own fresh produce needs. Our successes with intensively planted garden beds now enable us to offer to you the same fresh, in-season vegetables through a weekly veggie box program, and (soon to be ready) road-side stand in Pleasant Valley, PE

Starting really soon....

Good evening Y'all. Sorry I have been missing the last couple of weeks. My sweet momma had a very bad stroke a few weeks ago and then past away :( I have been trying to get my feet back under me since then.

So a quick update. It has been a colder then usual spring and things in the gardens are slow coming. So it looks like we are gonna try to get our first opening Saturday on June 20th.

So stay tuned as we get everything ready and in place.

looking forward to seeing you all.

I thought I would let everyone know the following: we should have some really good reasonable priced veggies for sale this year... at the farmstand and at the Freetown Pop-Up Farmers Market . We do not use big tractors to grow our crops and we do not use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides on our crops... so you won't see the awfully expensive prices you would at the grocery stores.... stay tuned for when it all starts being available
