Nature's true tastes and fresh-picked nutrition are available daily at the Classic Organic Farm and Market, owned and operated by Helmut Klauer, a classic organic farmer. A variety of lettuces, tomatoes, carrots, watermelons, strawberries, cucumbers, winter and summer squash, peppers, fennel, spinach, asparagus, onions, garlic and pumpkins are just a sampling of the many crops grown in season. Homestead Orchard fruit, kitchen herbs and organically produced eggs are also available.
Helmut has farmed organically since 1971. He holds fast to the original parameters of organic farming, rejecting the USDA's "new" definition of organic, which allows methods which classic organic farmers would never employ.
Future plans include Ladybug Acres, offering school tours, family activities, and barnyard animals freely grazing on the rolling hills surrounding the farm; also, The Farmer's Wife, offering herbs, classic farm products, gardening and decorative items, with internet access to related products and information.
