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, omposting, 
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. 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.
