Arethusa Farm

Locale ID VT6046

Run by Thomas Case Benner Dana


About

Arethusa Farm is a certified organic vegetable farm established in 2002 at the Intervale in Burlington, VT. We grow a wide selection of vegetables on twenty-four acres of sandy soil along the Winooski River. We are an urban farm, uniquely situated minutes away from downtown Burlington.

The majority of our produce is distributed within a ten mile radius of the farm throughout Burlington and some surrounding communities. Our organic approach to weed and pest management includes systems of crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting to manage the health of our soils and vegetables. We also rely on hand weeding, hoeing, a variety of mechanical tools, and our fleet of tractors to cultivate the soil and manage weeds.

During the growing season, we harvest by hand and deliver twice a week to local grocers, restaurants, schools, and cafes. On Saturdays through the Spring, Summer, and Fall, we sell our produce at the Burlington Farmers Market in City Hall Park. During the Winter months, we sell at the Burlington Winter Market in Memorial Auditorium. We offer a Farmers Market Share, where people pre-pay and get a 10% discount for their choice of vegetables from our farmers market stand each week. P.O. Box 8082, Burlington VT 05402
