The items grown here are completely natural and thrive in a harmonious ecosystem.

Having spent the last few decades on the FCAC board and attending the New York City Union Square Greenmarkets, Morse Pitts has decided it’s time for retirement. “I’d like to to work only 40 hours” states Morse. His plan for retirement is to purchase a small farm in the Northeast region and to continue growing simply for the love of farming.

During his tenure, Morse has mentored many new farmers giving them the support, space and freedom to learn agricultural operations and create their own path in the farming world with the hope that they continue on farming no matter where they go. Morse has shared his unique and innovative style of farming knowledge with many to ensure that the agriculture world stays rich with the important understanding of no spray farms.
