Freshwise Farms

FW Farms

Our mission at Freshwise Farms has always been the production of high-quality greens and vegetables with the goal of providing fresh, local, healthy food for the Greater Rochester community. Over winter 2010/2011, we created an organic, soil growing medium in our main greenhouse that will now allow us to truly fulfill our vision. This change enables us to be a more sustainable and environmentally friendly farm while also growing organically.

We no longer have to rely on man-made fertilizers to produce our greens and strictly use local, organic compost to add nutrition to our soil. The benefits of soil growing are obvious in taste, nutrition, and aesthetics. Our reds are redder and our greens are greener! We believe you will see and taste the difference in our new greens and your body will thank you for it!

We will continue to use hydroponic growing methods for some of our herbs and bunches to maintain some of the most popular products in our line. The following items will now be grown in soil and using sustainable practices:

Field Mix
Asian Mix
Romaine Mix

Freshwise now sponsors the local Farm-to-School Program.
