The Farm
Welcome to Field Stone Farm, located between Northfield and Roxbury, Vermont, on 42 beautiful acres! Family owned since 1990, Ian and Chandra Blackmer started producing vegetable and fruit crops for a small CSA in 2009. 2015 brought daughter Hannah back to Vermont to lend a hand in supporting their growing business, and after a few years of family transitions Hannah took on managing the farm’s production.
In 2011, Chandra had a wood-fired oven built on the farm and started to turn excess and misfit produce into pizza. Really, really good pizza. From 2017 to 2023, Chandra and Hannah managed the pizza and farm realms in partnership. After thirteen years in business, Chandra was ready to retire, and Hannah’s partner Tyler offered to take up the helm. He carries on her legacy, creating delicious pizzas built with Vermont-grown ingredients.
Prioritizing regenerative practices to bring you nutrient dense food.
Regenerative
We strive to utilize practices that increase soil health and microbial activity, in turn increasing the vigor, vitality, nutrient density, and pest and disease resistance in our crops. A healthy, balanced, living soil is our best and most important tool for providing you with high quality, nutrient dense food. Healthy, balanced, living farmers are the second best tool! These two pillars help to shape our practices: low till, regenerative farming that prioritizes soil building, carbon sequestration, and efficiency.
Our practices include:
Minimally disruptive systems for prepping beds and reducing weed pressure, such as broadforking, solarization and organic-material mulches. We never till our soil!
Compost, naturally-derived fertilizers and mineral soil amendments, and cover crops to improve fertility, organic matter, and soil biological activity
Naturally derived foliar feeding and soil drenching for improved strength and immunity at important growth stages (primarily seaweed and fish-based fertilizers, which are high in critical micro-nutrients)
