What's up with the "K"?
Well, that's an inside joke that we'll share here. Years ago my father "commissioned" a sign for the farm as a present to us. The person who made the sign for some reason used a capital "K" in RocK. Since the sign wasn’t going back we thought - why fight it?
Who we are
RocK Meadow Farm was established in 1998 by Janine & David Heck. Since then it's been a small, but ever expanding operation. In 2006 we added a small greenhouse to our property and managed to produce over 4200 plants. Our focus is to offer local sales of heirloom and antique varieties of herb, flower and vegetable plants that others only offer through mail-order. Our goal is to provide excellent quality plants at affordable prices. Currently we only do local, weekend sales and custom orders. Our e-mail address and directions to the farm are on our Contact page.
Organic
We follow organic growing methods, but are not “Certified Organic”. Frankly we feel that the certification process is complex and expensive, and that’s not a step we’re prepared to take yet. Our seed purchases are from companies that sell only open pollinated, non-treated seeds. We use Neptune’s Harvest Fish, or Fish & Seaweed fertilizers and ecologically friendly methods of pest and disease control. What we sell we also grow, and eventually eat from our own garden!
