The true genesis of Water Fresh Farm began back in seventh grade science class where owners Phil and Jeff met as lab partners. This was the beginning of a strong friendship. Since their college days at the University of Connecticut, the two dreamt about one day creating a business together. After graduation, Phil and Jeff spent the next dozen years working separate sales and marketing careers. It

wasn’t until they read an article in the Boston Globe featuring hydroponic farming that the lightbulb went off! Hydroponic farming is a method that uses mineral-nutrient solutions in water as the base for growing plants rather than soil. This growing method insures that the plants are safe and nutrient rich. After extensive research of the science of growing and the business of marketing, the two became convinced this was the direction they should take their company. And so, American Hydroponics was born; a locally grown, pesticide-free, year-round farm that produces fruits and vegetables grown for taste rather than transport. Operations began in 1997 with a 4,000 square foot greenhouse growing beefsteak tomatoes. After a few years of trial and error, the small business was stable and ready for expansion. The size of the farm quintupled, bringing the growing operations to over 20,000 square feet!Beefsteak tomatoes remained the core of the business, but there was now room for growing mini cucumbers, Italian basil, and Boston Bibb lettuce. These four products are all currently marketed in a number of supermarket chains and new products are constantly being grown for potential future sales. Years of positive feedback from the Hopkinton community and loyal customers challenged Phil and Jeff to further expand and develop American Hydroponics from a farm to a farmer’s market! The small business that began as an idea shared by two friends quickly became a family collaberation. Since 2008, plans have been underway for Water Fresh Farm, a traditional New England barn constructed market featuring their products and those of other local farms. Water Fresh Farm wants to promote locally grown products and bring attention to other farms in addition to their own. Future customers who are looking for taste that accompanies fresh food can expect to shop in a sanctuary of local produce, dairy, baked goods, meats and seafood, prepared foods, and ice cream served straight from the silo! Here at American Hydroponics and Water Fresh Farm, we are committed to providing products of the highest quality. We hope Water Fresh Farm makes food shopping an enjoyable experience; enticing consumers to eat healthy and support the local farms that bring so much beauty to Massachusetts!

Yummy Alert!

I brought this tomato home yesterday to make a salad and when I cut it open it was just so beautiful I had to take a photo and share it. What a joy to be able to eat juicy tomatoes this time of year, especially with another snow storm bearing down on us.

I say spit in the eye of the snow and slice into one of our freshly picked tomatoes this weekend!

This month’s local special is Appalachian Naturals dressings. As I have already told many of you, I think the Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette makes the absolute best marinade for chicken and fish.

Based in Goshen, Massachusetts, Appalachian Naturals is committed to sourcing locally grown, quality, non-GMO or organic ingredients for their dressings and sauces. Their motto is "Local Agriculture is Everyone's Business.”

You can learn more about Appalachian Naturals at http://www.appalachiannaturals.com/

"Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end."
- from "The Snow Storm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Good morning. The Farm will be closed today due to the snow storm. Enjoy this wild day!

28/02/2017

Potholes - ugh. This warm/cold/warm winter has not been kind to our drive, as any of our loyal customers can attest to. But, we're trying. Our greenhouse manager and one of his staff are out filling those dang holes this morning.

Special this month: Locally Made Jams

Deborah's Spreadable Fruit is the Real Deal - made only with natural ingredients. It's also great because Deborah uses very little sugar - the sweetness comes naturally from the fruit!

John Anderson, My Jo John Anderson, my jo, John, When we were first acquent; Your locks were like the raven, Your bonie brow was brent; But now your brow is beld, John, Your locks are like the snaw; But blessings on your frosty pow, John Anderson, my jo. John Anderson, my jo, John, We clamb the hill thegither; And mony a cantie day, John, We've had wi' ane anither: Now we maun totter down, John, And hand in hand we'll go, And sleep thegither at the foot, John Anderson, my jo. - Robert Burns (1789)
