Milkweed Farm

Milkweed Farm is a small organic vegetable and flower farm in Westminster West. Owners Jonah Mossberg and Emily Hartz grow over 100 varieties of vegetables on two acres, primarily for their 125-member CSA and several local grocers and restaurants. After starting the farm in 2017 through short-term land leases, Jonah and Emily now steward 10 acres of land owned by the Earth Bridge Community Land Trust in Westminster West. They focus on building soil biology through a commitment to low and no-till, organic practices. Milkweed Farm received a VFF Business Builder loan to finance a new four-season farm store, where they plan to sell their vegetables and flowers as well as other local producers' dairy, meat, egg and grocery products. The store will be year-round with the goal of supplying the community with fresh leafy greens throughout the winter months.
