Sign ups are now open for our Winter Meat and/or Egg CSA!!
We will be offering bundles of pasture raised chicken, angus beef, and pork cuts in half share and full share sizes. Half shares are perfect for a family of two and a full share is perfect for families of four - or for those, like us, that have a more of a protein focused diet. Pick ups will be every other week starting in January and run through either March or April (depending on your pick up location). Our Backer Farm Mendham Farm Stand TUESDAY pick up will consist of 9 pick ups and our Berndarsville Winter Market SATURDAY pick up will have 7 pick ups. Box components are preselected by the farm. We have a variety of options to choose from below.

What’s Unique About Regenerative Farming?
Biodynamic farming is regenerative and aspires to be transformative, seeking to maximize health and vitality of the soil, ecosystem and crops. Some practices include:
-Replacing chemical herbicides with farm produced herbal sprays to enhance and enliven crops
-Replacing chemical pesticides with farming practices that encourage healthy predator / prey balance through plantings
-Replacing chemical fertilizers with natural farm produced compost to fertilize soil
-Planting cover crops in the off season, which draws carbon back out of the atmosphere and improves soil vitality and nutrient content
-Introducing animals on the land - Letting cattle, goats, and other livestock graze appropriately can improve pastures by stimulating better plant growth and increasing forage biodiversity
-Zero Tolerance for GMOs
