What We Believe
🌎 Our Commitment to the Earth
At Stone Circle Farm, we believe the relationship between farming and the environment is inseparable. When the earth suffers, farmers suffer — and so does our food system. Unfortunately, many conventional practices contribute to the very problems farmers then have to battle: soil degradation, loss of wildlife habitat, water contamination, pollution, and carbon emissions.We may be a small farm, but we believe small changes matter. Every choice we make in how we farm, eat, and live is rooted in care for the land and its future.
🌱 How We Farm with Care
No-Till Practices: We disturb the soil as little as possible, protecting the vital microorganisms, fungi, and bacteria that build healthy soil. Far from a new fad, this method has supported agriculture for over 10,000 years.Efficient
Water Use: Drip irrigation and high tunnels help us reduce water waste while protecting crops from unpredictable weather.
Cover Crops: Instead of synthetic fertilizers, we rely on cover crops to naturally replenish nutrients and improve soil health.
💚 Why It Matters
Is this a harder way to farm? Sometimes. Does it bring fresh, nutrient-dense organic food to your table? Yes.Is it worth it? Absolutely.
Because caring for the land today means healthier food — and a more resilient farm — tomorrow.
Meet the Farmers
🌿 Our Story
Stone Circle Farm may have officially begun in 2019, but the land has been cared for organically since 2005. Andrew and Jenn envisioned a farm that would share their love of fresh, organic food and sustainable, mindful living with the wider community.
Andrew’s journey began in the kitchen, where he built his career as a chef and restaurateur. Jenn’s path led her into agricultural education, where she now serves as a produce safety educator with Rutgers University. Though their experiences differ, both have always shared the same core belief: that eating locally and supporting small businesses creates stronger, healthier communities.
At Stone Circle Farm, their mission goes beyond simply growing food. They are committed to:
-
Supporting and collaborating with other small businesses
-
Building a community of like-minded individuals who care about the land and each other
-
Giving back to their community
-
Growing delicious, nutrient-rich produce while honoring the earth
For Andrew and Jenn, farming is about more than crops — it’s about connection, care, and cultivating a circle of sustainability that extends from their fields to your table.
