Cultivating Sustainability and Growth

Princeton Farms and Preserves uses sustainable farming methods to cultivate high value crops that also enrich the land. Previously a verdant sod farm, it’s an ideal place to nurture a range of produce, grass, and flowers.

We rotate crops since this time-honored practice strengthens and replenishes the soil for future crops without over-relying on fertilizers to prepare the soil.

Our CSA and Greenhouse Programs

Princeton Farms and Preserves proudly offers its own Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and greenhouse programs as part of our commitment to sustainable agriculture and community engagement.

Our Farm Philosophy

Cultivate with Care

We embrace sustainable and natural farming principles, avoiding synthetic chemicals and promoting biodiversity. Every crop is nurtured with precision, ensuring a natural, eco-conscious approach from seed to harvest.

Nourish the Land

Our farming practices go beyond natural standards, incorporating responsible irrigation, regenerative soil management, and eco-friendly techniques. By preserving soil health and water resources, we ensure long-term sustainability and environmental balance.

Harvest for Quality

We follow optimal harvesting strategies, including seasonal planning and crop rotation, to enhance soil vitality and maximize flavor and nutrition. By harvesting at peak ripeness, we deliver fresh, nutrient-dense produce every season.

01.
Herb & Spice Gardens Culinary and Medicinal Herbs)

We cultivate a variety of herbs and spices that serve both culinary and medicinal purposes—ranging from basil, rosemary, and thyme for the kitchen, to chamomile, mint, and echinacea for natural remedies. These gardens are managed using chemical-free, sustainable methods, ensuring that every plant thrives in harmony with the local ecosystem.

Vegetable Garden

Our vegetable garden features a diverse assortment of seasonal produce: tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, leafy greens, root vegetables, and more. By rotating these plantings across different plots, we maintain soil fertility naturally and minimize pest pressures without using synthetic pesticides.

Flower Gardens

Alongside our wildflowers (detailed below), we maintain dedicated flower gardens brimming with blooms such as marigolds, zinnias, sunflowers, and ornamental varieties. These vibrant flowers support pollinators and add beauty to our farm landscape. They are also popular among visitors for bouquets and special occasions.

Our Crops (in Rotation)

We grow several high-value crops in rotation to enrich the land and minimize chemical inputs:

  • Sunn Hemp
    Grown for its exceptional benefits to soil health, Sunn Hemp’s deep root system enhances soil structure, helps prevent soil erosion, and controls weed overgrowth. It also fixes nitrogen, an essential nutrient for subsequent crops.
  • Alfalfa Hay
    A nutrient-rich feed for livestock, Alfalfa Hay benefits our eco system by improving soil structure and fertility. We practice meticulous harvesting and storage to ensure high-quality feed year-round.

Small Animals on the Farm

Our farm is home to various small animals, each contributing to the farm’s sustainability and visitor experience.

  • Chickens
    Our flock provides fresh eggs, known for their superior flavor and quality. They live in humane conditions, with ample space, natural light, and nutritious feed.
  • Goats
    We raise Boer and Alpine goats for pasture management and natural fertilization. They are beloved by visitors for their friendly, curious nature and play an essential role in maintaining healthy soil and pastures through sustainable grazing practices.
