    No, we sell exclusively through our online shop for farm pickup.

About The Farm

Back to the Top

  • Q. Can I visit the farm?

    We practice full transparency with our growing and farming practices and welcome any questions from our customers. It's pretty special that you can see the food being grown just feet away when you pick up a produce order! We do not offer farm tours due to the heavy workload required to keep the farm running. However, we occasionally offer on-farm workshops that can give you a close-up view of our gardens .

  • Q. What is the meaning behind the farm name?

    Our farm name is inspired by this ancient Chinese proverb which has special meaning for our family: "An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break."

  • Q. What are your growing practices?

    Red Thread Farm practices sustainable, regenerative farming methods and we're constantly learning new and better ways to produce nutrient-dense, healthy, clean food. We grow food on a human scale using hand tools with very minimal tillage to promote the health of our living soils. We never use toxic chemicals or synthetic fertilizers. Red Thread Farm practices full transparency with our customers, so don’t hesitate to ask us anything!

  • Q. Are you certified organic?

    Although we practice organic growing methods and we respect certifications, we have chosen not to be certified by the USDA. As a micro farm, most of our customers know us and see how we grow and care for the land. We think transparency with our community is more effective than governmental oversight. We seek to earn your trust with every product we sell.

  • Q. Do you have employment opportunities?

    No, our farm is operated by our immediately family and we have no employees.
