Sustainable Farming

 Most produce stands are advertised as “Fresh” and “Local”, but have you ever wondered:

• How healthy are they really?
• What kind of pesticides might be secretly damaging your overall health?
• What sort of farming practices are being used to bring these foods to your table? 

At Elk Creek Farmers Market, we care about the details. Using environmentally conscious farming practices and pesticide-free growing methods, we provide fresh, local food that you can truly feel good about taking home to your family. 

A2A2 100% organic raw milk, butter, drinkable yogurt, cheese, and ice cream from Jersey cows that are 100% grass-fed. We also offer regular and soy-free eggs from chickens fed organic corn, as well as duck eggs!

We take pride in our specific farming practices that ensure the highest quality meat for your family:

Organic & Sustainable: Our Angus, pigs, and chickens are raised on healthy, mineral-rich soil using organic practices.

Pure & Natural: We use zero synthetic fertilizers or harsh chemicals on our land, focusing on biological balance and natural pest control.

Direct from the Farm: Skip the middleman. Your beef is raised right here at Elk Creek Market and managed with the same care we put into our greenhouse greens and dairy.

At our farm market, we believe that the best food doesn't come from a massive industrial supply chain—it comes from right down the road. That is why we are incredibly proud to introduce our new line of fresh baked goods made with Einkorn, the world’s oldest, most unaltered ancient variety of wheat.
 

We ferment, flavor, and bottle both drinks right here to ensure they are packed with the highest levels of live cultures when they hit the shelves. They are completely raw, organic, and kept cold so they stay perfectly bubbly.  

Stop by in the spring and summer for bedding plants, herbs, flowers, succulents, and hanging baskets! 

Then, in the fall, we have you covered with all of your fall decorating! Pumpkins, gourds, straw bales, mums and more! 

We have numerous greenhouses where we start all of our vegetables from seed. We also offer seed-starting! Just bring us your seed, and we will start it, any month, any time! 

Save money and order a side of our own pasture-raised organic Angus beef. Choose the cuts that you want and stock your freezer!

Special order your Holiday Turkey over the summer. We will raise it and have it prepared and ready for you in November/December.

Once a month on the 1st Thursday of the month at 5:30 pm. From May to October, we offer a guided tour of our farm and a chance to learn about sustainable agriculture. You'll see firsthand how we grow our produce and raise our animals, and you'll learn about the importance of small-scale farming. Our tours are great for families, school groups, and anyone who wants to learn more about where their food comes from.

Every Saturday, May - October, 9 am - 1 pm
