Gaining Ground Farm
Gaining Ground farm is located in Leicester, NC on 70 acres of family farm land. We are Anne and Aaron Grier. The farm is home to a herd of Red Devon cattle, two Jersey milk cows, a flock of chickens, and several acres of vegetable growing bottom land. We strive to raise food that is both healthier for all of us to eat, and which has been raised in a manner easier on the environment. Our vegetables are raised in soil fed by green manure (plants grown specifically to be reincorporated into the soil) and composted chicken manure. No chemical fertilizers and no synthetic herbicides or insecticides are used EVER. When we spray for disease and insect management all products are approved for use on organic farms. It is our belief that crop diversity, good soil fertility, and wild borders combine to make an environment perfect for growing healthy vegetables.
