 A Note About Our Growing Practices

​Monastic life is a constant striving to live a unified and simple life. 
Our growing practices match the same spirit as our monastic life. 
​This means we strive to grow vegetables in an ecological manner,
​with simplicity and quietude:

• Our produce is grown chemically free, using practices accepted by organic farming.
• We prioritize soil health over harvest quantity, remembering the smallest of creatures.

Subscribe and receive a panier each week filled with delicious vegetables.

Step 1:  

Determine if you will be a happy weekly food box subscriber.

A weekly food box subscription does not fit everyone . Is it right for you?

​​Is a direct relationship with your farmer or the monks important to you? Are you willing to step out of the consumerism mindset and share the nature-based risks of vegetable production with the monks?  Are you willing to try new foods?  Do you have time to cook?  Are you willing to adjust your mindset and schedule to fit the weekly vegetable basket?  Read full agreement for more info.

If you answered Yes to these questions, you will fall in love with the Panier du moine!

​be sure to sign up for garden emails,
or visit us at our Bridgewater and New Germany Farmers' Market Stand!
