Monkshood Nursery and Garden wishes to make a deeper connection to the people we grow our food for. Hence, we are now offering a farm share or CSA. Our hope is to build a community of support for local agriculture, fantastic food, a clean environment, and a vibrant local economy. Our concern for safe, healthy great tasting food grown right here where we live is what motivates us.
About our Farm
David and Melinda Rowley along with their daughter Sorrel are the farmers at Monkshood Nursery & Garden. David attended Hadlow College in England studying Commercial Horticulture, while Melinda went to Cornell University and also studied Horticulture. Together we started a potted herb nursery in 2001. Two years later while looking for a place to expand the nursery we leased an 82-acre piece of land in the heart of Stuyvesant, NY. This is where we began growing vegetables for farmers market. We have since put up 3 greenhouses expanding our growing season. Now we are adding a CSA. And our garden keeps growing…
