At Crystal Green Farms we, Brian & Kathy (your farmers) have been together since 2008 but in 2015 we got married here at the farm, with family and friends with us to enjoy the day. We both come from family farm backgrounds and enjoy working together and living our passion, farming! For us organic farming is not just a job, it’s a way of life.
We find it both challenging and rewarding, and hope that we can make some difference in the local community, one family at a time. We have become not only their farmers to many, but along with that have created a connection that is very heartwarming. As we meet up with folks on a weekly basis, we see the little ones growing up and become a little part of the lives of those we serve. The farm started with 12 cows and grew, at its peak having 100+ cows. The Van Herk family as well as the previous owner raised pigs, grew turnip and potatoes in the early years.
In 1975 electricity was installed in the house and more extensively in the barns. The dairy industry along with the raising of beef and dairy heifers became the main focus. The last warehouse was built in 1990, and the property continues to undergo redevelopments. Brian and Kathy hope to restore the homestead and offer it as a farm stay for visiting families some time in the future.
