Crystal Organics Farm
D&A Farm
We are a first generation small family farm operated primarily by Dave and Alan Bentoski. With the help of a few dedicated employees and several family members we grow and market over 80 varieties of certified organic fruits, vegetables, melons, and vegetable transplants. The produce is raised on roughly 15 acres of cultivated ground which counts 2 heated greenhouses and 9 unheated high tunnels that we use for season extension. We received our organic certification in February of 2007. But we have been farming "organically" from the start. We market our produce mostly direct to consumers through our CSA program and at Morningside Farmers Market, and to several area restaurants. We are constantly evaluating new crops and farm enterprises to add to this list. Stand back and watch us grow!! www.dandafarm.com

Magnolia Bread Company
Each loaf is created completetly from scratch - - shaped, watched, and cared for by hand, from the moment the first drop of water hits the flour until a day later, when the hot crusty bread is pulled from the oven on a wooden paddle. We bake in a brick oven - wood-fired the night before baking. In the morning, the oven is scraped and cleaned, and the loaves are baked directly on the hearth. Certified Organic. Visit Website
