Garden Style Farming

Queens Farm practices garden-style farming. The farm uses a tractor to prepare the planting beds for cultivation in spring, then relies on hand tools, simple machinery, and the power and dedication of a farm crew to tend to the plants from seed to harvest. This style of farming allows us to keep our carbon footprint low by minimizing diesel fuel outputs from the tractor. This method also speaks to agricultural history where in colonial times, farm implements powered by animals were used to till the land and then worked by hand by the farmers.
