Farm Hands: A Unique Approach to Urban Eating

Do you want the taste and freshness of fresh, organic homegrown vegetables and fruits, but have neither the time nor the knowledge to maintain a productive garden?

• Are you living in an apartment or condo without a yard and would like the option of receiving homegrown vegetables and fruit from your neighborhood?
• Are you interested in your very own backyard vegetable garden or signing up for a weekly box of fresh, local, and organic vegetables and fruits?

Let Farm Hands grow and maintain vegetables and fruits for you in your own yard!

Farm Hands is a company specializing in creating and maintaining yards to be not only beautiful, but useful, too. Created by a landscape architect with a passion for growing edible gardens, and maintained by knowledgeable farmers, Farm Hands installs and maintains vegetable gardens and existing fruit trees, in yards of all shapes and sizes (on a small or large scale). We consult with each client to determine the best possible set up and crops to grow, but the choice ultimately rests with each garden owner.

The process is simple: Your own “Farm Hand” will maintain your garden plot(s) on a weekly basis, using organic techniques and harvesting the produce at its peak. As the number of Farm Hands yards in your area grows, so does the option to share your produce with others in exchange for edibles not in your own plot(s). Additionally, individuals lacking yards of their own can sign up to receive a basket of vegetables each week from a local vegetable garden near their neighborhood.

Whether you are garden sponsor or a person without a yard, we offer delivery of two sizes of vegetable baskets per week:

Full Basket – $30 per week – Good for two people or a small family (approx. 11/2 grocery bags)
Half Basket – $20 per week – Good for one person (approx. 3/4 grocery bags)

Additionally, Farm Hands offers these basic services:
• Initial garden evaluation, soil testing, design, and installation
• Weekly garden follow up to keep the yard space growing and producing edibles
• Organic techniques to grow and maintain vegetables and existing fruit trees
• A weekly basket of produce from your yard and possibly others in your neighborhood
• Ongoing garden maintenance, organic disease and pest control, and networking with other farm owners in your area
