What We Do

We grow uncertified organic produce for about 100 families in and around Chatham County, NC. We offer Spring, Fall, and Winter CSA.

We also attend the Fearrington Farmers Market, the Pittsboro Farmers Market, and have relationships with local restaurants and the co-op.

We are flexible. Our CSA is fully customizable + members may also place holds on their shares + schedule alternate make-ups.

We feel that our farm name should represent our vision & we couldn’t think of a better representation of what we want to do & be in the world than in good heart.

Our mission is to strive for healthier people, community, agriculture, + planet by growing + sharing the most nourishing food that we can.

To say that the soil is in good heart

is to say that it is healthy, in good cultivation, & in good spirit.

To say that a person is in good heart

is to say they are cultivating wisdom, courage & spirit.

“Love the connection”

My family and I have loved our experience with In Good Heart Farm’s CSA. We started with a small share for our family of 3 and went to a regular once we got into the rhythm of receiving so much goodness at once. Besides loving that the vegetables are delicious and free of harsh chemicals, I appreciate that we are connected to the lovely people growing our food. And we’ve learned so much from Ben and Patricia about different varieties of veggies and how to prepare them, and we’ve found new favorites not available in the grocery store. Pickup has become a welcome part of our week, and we have so enjoyed being able to go out to the farm to see more of the process that puts food on our table. The work that Ben and Patricia do to bring nutritious food to the community, even to folks facing financial challenges, is very cool, and we feel so fortunate to have found this CSA and to be a small part of something so good in our community.

Finally, a CSA that has a good variety and delicious produce! Everything we have gotten has been wonderful. The veggies taste like what I remembered from my childhood. Fresh, delicious and plentiful.

“Fantastic variety”

Ben and Patricia at In Good Heart Farm have provided our family with a wide variety of quality vegetables and fruits in their CSA since 2012. They use organic practices on their farm and provide non-super market varietals: purple kohlrabi, castelfranco radicchio, dinosaur kale to name a few. They always have great suggestions for making the best of the goods they sell – making sure every bite is packed with flavor.
