Josie Porter Farm

The Josie Porter Farm offers high quality, nutritionally dense, chemical free produce and food to our community. For over 13 years farm manager Heidi Secord and husband Gary Bloss have focused on organic and biodynamic farming techniques that enliven the soil. Biodynamic growers recognize the soil itself to be alive and that human health and vitality depend upon the health and vitality of the soil. You can purchase our products through our CSA, farmstand and at the Easton Public Market. Taste the difference and experience our mission at the farm - connecting people to the earth through agriculture, education and community.
