We market all of our produce locally as part of our committment to build a healthier community. Our Berea Gardens Farmer's Market is a convenient Drive-Through market held Wednesday from 4 to 6 PM during the growing season. A number of other vendors join us here. We have an online store also, where produce can be ordered and then picked up during market hours. You can sign up at bereagardens.locallygrown.net
We also sell to local schools, institutions and restaurants.

Apart from growing crops we are also committed to growing growers. We have on-farm training programs and also provide some media and online materials to encourage others to duplicate what we do; grow our own food and earn enough to support our family. Our training is focused on unique principles of growing the healthiest crops, people, environment and community. In the past ten years we have hosted students from 48 states and 11 foreign countries righ here in beautiful West Virginia
The genetic diversity of crops is diminishing at an alarming rate and one way to combat that is to preserve the gene pool of previous generations. We are active in seeking out old land-race varieties that are present in our area and propagating them to share with others. Some of the varieties we have garnered locally have been shared all over the U.S., indeed some have made it to Europe, Australia, South America and the Far East.

We eat food, and we want the best nutrition, taste and quality possible. I have learned much in 47 years working in professional agriculture and apply the best of what I know on our market farm that feeds my family and hundreds of the people in our community through our Farmer's Market. We also sell to local schools and restaurants with the desire of doing what we can to have the healthiest community in our region. We are also committed to good environmental stewardship and conduct all of our growing operations without the use of any toxic chemistries, whether certified for Organic use or not. Toxin-free farming is a reality at Berea Gardens.

Our unique approach to agriculture is to produce food that has both optimal human nutrition and plant productivity. It is a simple fact that plants can thrive using only 17 essential elements from the periodic table, and it is also a fact that the human body requires at least 15 additional elements.. Current agricultural practices whether conventional or Organic largely ignore that fact with the consequence of drastically diminished nutritiion in our modern food supply. We also grow in a way that does not utilize chemical warfare against us or the environment. We accomplish these things with great success utilizing simple methods and principles that I have gleaned over the many decades of my experience and want to teach others how to duplicate our achievements. We have instructed hundreds of people from 48 states and all of the inhabited continents in the past decade since beginning this venture.
