ABOUT OUR FARM    Manakintowne Specialty Growers is a family owned and operated farm in Powhatan County, Virginia. Since 1985, we have been growers and suppliers of fresh cut herbs, salad greens, micro greens, edible flowers and specialty vegetables for the best chefs and most adventurous cooks in Central Virginia.
Most of the farm is in full sun, and we are close to the highest elevation in the county. We grow seasonally on our twenty-one acres, and our two greenhouses and cold frames allow year-round production.
We recognize that the health of our soil underlies the success of our efforts, so we use sustainable farming methods, such as cover cropping (field peas, buckwheat and winter rye), crop rotation, companion planting, composting, mulching, hand-tending and harvesting. We use row covers, netting and careful timing for pest control, and row covers for season extension in the field.
Most of our beds are 100' by 4' or smaller, so each bed and each crop gets individualized attention, according to its needs.

Mission Our mission is to be good stewards of the land and to provide people with a delicious, healthy and beautiful product, along the way building community and a connection to the land. Healthy soil, happy plants, delicious food, Enjoy!
