About Us...
Seton Harvest is a Community Supported Agriculture Project sponsored by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent DePaul, a non-for-profit religious organization committed to promoting sustainable agriculture. Our first growing season began in the Spring of 2006. We started with 64 shareholder families and expanded to 146 in 2009. The farm produces some 50+ different vegetables, flowers and herbs. Our ten acre farm site includes a barn, two greenhouses and is fully irrigated. Seton Harvest has proved to be a successful ecological justice initiative and has received much support from the local community.

SETON HARVEST MISSION
|
As a responsible steward of the land and community, Seton Harvest, a ministry of the Daughters of Charity, will use the land in a just and environmentally conscious way by sharing locally grown food with shareholders, including persons who are poor and homeless and by providing educational opportunities around sustainable agriculture.

Seton Harvest - A Certified Naturally Grown Farm
We are pleased to announce that Seton Harvest is now a Certified Naturally Grown farm. Certified Naturally Grown is an independent agency out of Stone Ridge, New York. To be accepted into the certification program, candidates must complete a detailed application and undergo an annual farm inspection by a third party expert. Each farm must also submit a Grower Declaration which demonstrates a commitment to the following standards and practices:
|
>> Absolutely no use of synthetic chemical insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers on our crops or fields.
>> Minimal and careful use of even organically approved soil amendments and sprays.
>> Care for our soil, water and air quality with crop rotations, cover crops, protective buffer strips and ecologically sustainable farming practices.
>> No use of chemically treated or Genetically Modified seeds.
>> Sanitary post-harvest practices including proper transport, storage and the use of only potable water for the washing of produce.
>> A commitment to strive in every way to pass on the land and surrounding environment in an even better condition than it was passed on to us.
