Dark Wood Farm is a small patch of earth in Northern Kentucky tended with care by Annie Woods.
2021 is our eighth growing season!
When you eat food from Dark Wood Farm, you’ll know that it is always:
Delicious
We grow flavorful varieties of vegetables that are picked ripe and fresh at the peak of their tastiness.
Healthy
For a strong, healthy body, you need food packed with minerals and vitamins. Our job as your farmers is to tend the soil so that your vegetables are chock full of goodness instead of weird chemicals.
Local
All of the vegetables from Dark Wood Farm are grown right here in the Ohio River Valley, picked by Annie, a small farm crew, family, friends, and sold in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area.
Seasonal
We grow according to the season – delicious greens in the spring; juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and melons in the summer; and root vegetables like potatoes, onions, carrots, and beets in the fall.
All Natural
Some folks would call Dark Wood Farm vegetables “organic,” but we’d have to get certified through the USDA to legally use that term. We don’t use any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides on the farm. Soil fertility comes from compost, cover crops, and managing tillage to keep soil life happy and healthy. Pests are managed by using fabric row cover, hand removal, planting flowers to attract beneficial insects, and by accepting that veggies with a few bug holes are better than veggies covered in pesticides. Weeds are managed by hoeing and mowing. If you have questions about our growing practices, or are interested in visiting the farm during one of our public events, contact the farm here.
Dark Wood Farm finally moved to a permanent location in Brooksville, KY in March of 2021.
