Rocky Branch Farm is a no-till vegetable farm nestled in the hills above the Ammonoosuc River in the North Country of New Hampshire. We grow over 50 varieties of vegetables, herbs and flowers that we hope will brighten your kitchen and bring joy to your table.
At Rocky Branch Farm, sustainably grown food is our passion: we strive to provide fresh produce of exceptional quality, keeping in mind the health of people and planet every step of the way.
On a personal level, food and farming brings us joy, a sense of purpose, and connects us to our home. We look forward to sharing it with you!
MEET THE FARMERS
Alex Libenson and Rhianna Zadravec met in 2018 while studying sustainable food and farming at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMass, Amherst. They climbed desert towers of sandstone, scaled rock and ice on alpine peaks, bikepacked through the Sonoran Desert, and swam in backcountry lakes; but nowhere felt like home quite like New England. Their boundless passion for outdoor recreation and sustainable food has brought them home to northern New England and inspired their next adventure – to start a farm together.
Practices & Impact
At Rocky Branch Farm we perform all planting, cultivation, and harvest, using hand tools & without conventional tillage. We believe strongly that no-till growing is best for soil biology and produces more nutritious and delicious food. We do not hold a USDA Organic Certification because we feel that this label does not fully capture what we are trying to accomplish. We grow with organic practices and use systems that build and improve soil with each season. We use only organic compliant soil amendments and make our own compost. We do not apply synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides.
