About

Since 2003, we have been growing five acres of high quality organic vegetables and flowers on our beautiful farm on the banks of the Winooski River in Marshfield, Vermont. The majority of our produce is sold via community supported agriculture, or CSA. Our enthusiastic CSA members pick up their produce weekly at the farm or in Montpelier from late June to early October. Both small and large shares include an abundance of fresh, organic, seasonal vegetables and fruit direct from our fields. Shares include pick-your-own crops like peas, beans, cherry tomatoes and flowers for a hands-on experience. Come on by the farm! (See our map and directions to the farm on the Contact Us page.) Notice the changes in the season, cut flowers in the garden with a friend, munch on cherry tomatoes right off the plants. Wellspring CSA is perfect for families, city folks seeking a country break, nature freaks and children of all ages. We are now over 130 member families strong and growing! Wellspring Farm is managed by farmer Mimi Arnstein, with a vital staff of apprentices, unsuspecting volunteers and suspecting ones like Mimi’s husband, Parker Nichols. Wellspring Farm is conveniently located on Route 2 in Marshfield, 13 miles from Montpelier, along the beautiful Winooski River.

Wellspring Farm has been farmed organically on and off since the late 1980s. It was the home of one of Vermont's very first community supported agriculture (CSA) farms, started by Farmer Les Snow. Prior to that, cows roamed our pasture and were milked in our historic barn. There has been one famous resident at the farm (well, so far): Luvia Lefferrier. Luvia was a woman with clairvoyant visions. Folks throughout central Vermont tell us stories of getting their fortune told or finding a lost pet with the help of Luvia. Apparently even the police came to Luvia for assistance! She claimed to get her powers from a spring on the farm; hence our chosen moniker, Wellspring Farm. The land here is rich indeed! Today, the farm is home to Wellspring CSA. Wellspring Farm CSA is farmed by Mimi Arnstein.
