Producer

We are Derek Phillips and Aaron Nicely, married first generation farmers. Our farm in Quincy, about 20 minutes West of Tallahassee, is situated on 11 acres in a quiet neighborhood of mostly residential properties and some small farms. On our property we maintain a small pond, woods and wild areas that provides habitat for native wildlife. We grow about 3 acres of seasonal vegetables and have about 2 acres of fruit trees and gardens on the property.

We grow a huge range of vegetables including several specialty vegetable varieties that are not sold in the grocery store. We also grow blueberries, satsumas, elderberry, and recently planted persimmons, pears, figs, loquats, and more fruit trees. We grow cut flowers in the Spring + Fall and we offer beautiful local Mother’s Day flower arrangements every year.

We are a gay-owned business that prioritizes LGBTQ inclusion in our hiring practices. We donate produce to several local charities to help feed those in need.

Our mission is to cultivate delicious seasonal produce that is good for the body and for the environment. We fulfill this mission by incorporating holistic growing practices that nurture the local ecosystem and community, that in turn, benefits the farm. Everything we bring to market is grown on our property, using natural growing methods without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. We continually strive to create efficient systems for producing food and caring for the land.
