About

Starstead Farm is located in Rixeyville, VA. We produce a wide variety of foods, with a focus on fresh vegetables and an eye toward interesting and delicious cultivars. We achieve high production on small acreage by using low-till methods and permanent raised beds, while foregoing pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Our vegetables and seedlings are Certified Organic. Our laying hens roost in mobile coops and free range on 10 acres of pasture all year and every day, from dawn ‘til dusk.
