Hartshorn Farm

About the Farm

Hartshorn Farm represents a beautiful marriage of old and new, where fifth-generation Vermont farmer Dave Hartshorn has transformed his family's agricultural legacy into something extraordinary. Once running a dairy farm with his father, Dave has been growing organic fruits and vegetables for over 30 years, developing an intimate knowledge of the land that allows him to predict when strawberries will ripen and sense exactly how much water the kale needs. His deep connection to the earth, combined with decades of experience and a careful eye on the weather, forms the foundation of this certified organic operation in Vermont's Mad River Valley.

Dave's partnership with his wife Amy has elevated Hartshorn Farm beyond traditional agriculture into a place of education and inspiration. Amy, a former New York City resident, brings over 30 years of green living expertise as a speaker, podcast host, and wellness advocate who has helped thousands of people transform their homes, habits, and health without stress or overwhelm. Her passion for real food, mindful living, and creating a healthier world for people, the planet, and all its creatures perfectly complements Dave's farming expertise.

Together, the Hartshorns have transformed their piece of land on Route 100 into something truly special, a place where good food, good people, and big ideas grow together. Their vision extends far beyond simply growing vegetables to cultivating a deeper connection between people and their food source. The farm serves as both a working agricultural operation and an educational destination, where visitors can experience authentic farm life, learn about organic growing practices, and discover the story behind their food while being nourished in both body and spirit.
