Welcome to Our Website!
Woodland Ridge Farm is a small farm located near the Wachusett Reservoir in Central Massachusetts. This year we are growing at sites in Holden and Boylston. We grow fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers using sustainable farming practices. We grow all our own plants and specialize in a wide variety of flowers and floral craft. We are a farming family with a forty -year history of working the soil with eleven years participation in farmers' markets. Our mission is to share our joy of working with plants and their health-giving benefits while offering fresh, top quality products.
Practices and Growing Standards
Our farming practices are sustainable and are based on our respect of the earth. One of our goals is to build healthy nutrient-rich soil. We strive to be good stewards and regularly add compost, mulch and worms. We do NOT use chemical pesticides or herbicides. We interplant, rotate crops, attract birds, use bait crops, row covers and are not afraid to hand pick unwanted visitors. We use raised beds and self-watering containers with enriched growing medium. Our bees enjoy working many of the plants that we grow. Most recently we have added hydroponics and are enjoying good results with our lettuce.
Special Interests
One of our special interests is bringing the enjoyment and health benefits of gardening to everyone - especially the physically challenged. "Madison's Tips" above will give you more information on removing barriers and offer new ideas each week on current gardening topics.
THANK YOU to our Westminster Farmers' Market customers and our CSA share holders for a wonderful 2016 season. We enjoyed striving to grow the freshest, most nutritious produce and herbs for you that we could using natural sustainable methods. Our flowers were also grown using the same methods to bring you increased color, fragrance, and a bouquet that you could trust to be safe to smell and put on the table near your food.
A new growing season is well under way. Lettuce, spinach, snap peas, kale and many other plants are enjoying our recent cool, wet weather. .
Join us on Fridays from 3:00 - 6:00 at the Westminster Farmers' Market on Academy Hill Road. (See a map and directions by clicking on our "Where You Can Find Us" tab above).
