At Berle Farm, we are committed to the quality of our product and we know that it starts, very literally, from the ground up. We view farming as a complete system including the soil, grasses, grains, and animals. We know that the great taste of our cheeses, yogurt and many other products comes from prioritizing health throughout the whole system. Including your health!
We’ve been saving seed and producing our own fertilizer since the very beginning. Our compost pile rocks 100 worms per gallon of soil. Our products are powered by solar electricity and solar hot water. We’re also in the process of selling our development rights in order to protect the land we treasure. Sustainability and land conservation are fundamental tenets of our business. They aren’t something we’ve adopted along the way or incorporated when possible but have fundamentally defined our decision making at every step. We love the land.
The farm was founded by Beatrice Berle in 1989 with the goal of providing good food to her neighbors and investing in the local economy. She continues to own and operate the farm to this day and continues to invest in the local economy and provide good food to her neighbors. This year we officially opened the new Berle Farm Store, our greatest commitment to our community yet. Beatrice loves farming and has worked hard to share this love with others. Berle Farm is a multi-generational business with a proud history and a bright future.
