Welcome to our Family Farm
Organic Produce Practices
“Lettuce” Talk Farming
Our primary system is Deep Water Culture Aquaponics
We feed the fish, they feed our plants, and our plants clean the water for the fish.
The result is nutrient dense – chemical free – delicious produce for you.
Aquaponics is an innovation on the organic approach. The lettuce we produce is higher in vitamins, uses 92% less water than traditional row cropping, and allows us to produce all year long.
Blackbird Farm was founded at the height of the pandemic when my husband and I were desperate to reimagine broken food systems and supply chains. We continue to look for ways to reduce the time and effort it takes to get you fresh food, while reducing costs and carbon footprints. The farm is currently open by appointment only.

Our Team
Charity
Snow White * WooWoo * Floral Maven
You will always find me with a journal, seed packet, and metric for adding something to the farm. I love making sure our guests enjoy every aspect. I work in Technology outside of the farm currently, and support getting children and women involved in STEM thinking. Farming isn’t only hands in dirt. There is math, technology, and often design thinking deployed for success. Farms have algorithms. I believe in the power of natural medicine as much as western medicine but have found the overall system lacking in taking care of what truly ails people. My hope is good food and the memories we provide will launch systrem
Jeff
Brains * Developer * Builder * Mad Scientist
Jeff didn’t grow up as a farmer, but loves growing things and feeding people. He is always up for a new recipe, and project that Charity wants to do.
A dream takes a lot of effort and vision, if you talk to Jeff he always has that vision the front of his mind to improve and grow our farm. Jeff has the mechanics of our Green House Grow System down. He built the structure and helped assemble the system from our partners.
The care and well being of our fish is his top priority as they provide the best and healthiest food for you with out pesticides, or chemical intervention that we all want to avoid!
Jon
MicroGreen Master * Goat Herder * Wildling
Jon came to the farm full time 2023, and has jumped in to save our sanity with helping hands and great laughs.
He will often be out checking the houses for growing greens and nutrient levels. While our fish do 90% of the work Jon is there to make sure daily all looks well and we aren’t too high in things that hurt fish. IE – Our Nitrate/Nitrite Balance.
Jon will always be up for a great conversation or to answer questions at our markets. 2025 will see him stepping in to some other exciting opportunities, but don’t worry he will be at markets every so often.
