New Harmony Farm,LLC is a small, certified organic farm located on two fields in West Newbury and Newbury Massachusetts.We grow an extensive selection of vegetables, herbs, and flowers including heirloom and hard-to-find varieties and sell our products directly to our community through our CSA, sales to local restaurants and grocers, and our self-serve farm stand at our Newbury farm. OUR HISTORY: In 2011, Erin Stack with support from her husband Michael and their teenage girls Tara and Izzy, purchased the original farm located near the banks of the Merrimack river in West Newbury from her dear friends and mentors Bonnie Silva and Russ Barry (founders of the Greater Newburyport CSA). Erin continues Russ and Bonnie’s loving stewardship of the land and their passion for growing delicious and healthy organic produce. In 2013, Niall and Katie Robinson (friends of Erin through their environmental activism in Newburyport) bought the 15.8 acre farm formally known as Iron Moon in Newbury, MA and they are partnering with Erin to make New Harmony Farm, LLC a 2 field, 2 family farm. Erin is the farm manager of both fields and both families are excited as we develop the farm and increase our environmental education programs. Inspired by the Shakers vision of merging spirit, community, beauty and innovation, New Harmony Farm brings together artists, permaculture specialists, research scientists, environmental educators, interns and our CSA shareholders in a unique environmental educational program and working organic farm.Our vision brings together art, science, and Spirit to sustain our community with nutritious organic food while promoting a more intimate understanding of our interdependence with nature.
