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.

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.

Meet our Market Manager
Danielle has been part of our story for more than a decade—I first met her as my yoga teacher—and it feels exactly right that she now brings that same grounding, steady presence to the farm. She balances us, keeps spirits high even on the busiest days, and cares for this business as if it were her own. Danielle is endlessly curious and always learning, and she greets every customer with a genuine smile and deep knowledge of what we sell—from how to use it, to recipe ideas, baking tips, and thoughtful conversations about health and eating well. We are incredibly lucky to have her at the heart of our market.
