Old Path Farm is a small scale organic farm selling to CSA members and at the Clinton Farmer’s Market, and the Food Shed in Utica. Nancy, Peter, and Nancy have been exceedingly helpful and supportive since the beginning of HCCF and are a great resource for all questions, from when to plant, to bed spacing, sales advice, and pest control. Because they helped with much of the startup information in 2007, our practices are very similar to theirs, and are what make up the majority of the almanac.
