Good Spirits farm offers the unusual such as ground cherries, Aronia berries or bee balm tea next to raw honey and beautiful bouquets made with native wildflowers and old-fashioned garden flowers. We also grow raspberries and blackberries and specialize on growing different types of heirloom tomatoes and tomatillos. Our goal is to preserve a diverse range of fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs amid the pressure in agriculture to specialize and use monoculture.

Visitors are welcome to watch our bees and learn about beekeeping, stroll through the permaculture show garden or get an educational tour to learn more about native plants with medicinal properties. We also offer workshops from spring to fall about growing fruits and vegetables in kitchen gardens, medicinal plants or about foraging (edible native plants) in the Northeast.

Our roadside farm stand is open from early spring until the Christmas holidays. We sell flowers and holiday arrangements, raw honey, herb-based skin care products, teas and herbs, seasonal fruits, and vegetables. We grow our trees, berry bushes, vegetables, herbs and flowers using holistic and organic principles.
