Cathy Jones and her husband Mike Perry have been farming in northern Chatham County since the mid-1980's. After purchasing their land from a retired dairy farmer, they began the process of converting over-worked crop land into a sustainable vegetable operation. We love their potatoes (of which they grow many varieties).
Daniel Tolfree has owned Millarckee Farm for over 30 years, having been one of the first organic farms in North Carolina. We go to him in the spring and summer for his greens and herbs- like mizuna, pea shoots, baby mustards, Thai basil & cilantro.
Since 2002, Leah Cook and Mark Thomas have been growing vegetables, strawberries, and flowers using organic and sustainable methods on their small farm in northern Orange county.

Heeks Farm was started in 2009 by David and Robyn Heeks in northern Durham County. They specialize in winter vegetables and grow according to the organic standards. Heeks Farm is our go-to spot for root vegetables like turnips, beets, carrots, or sweet potatoes, plus cabbage and leafy greens.
Michael Brinkley is a third generation farmer on land established as a tobacco farm in 1941. We frequent Michael’s spot at the market for produce all year, but look forward in particular to his sweet corn and field peas in the summer.
Started by Rob, Monica, and their son Simon, Chicken Bridge Bakery uses locally milled organic flour, locally grown ingredients and carefully cultured natural yeasts for leavening to make wholesome, wood-fired bread.

Tova is the owner and chef of Short Winter Soups, a venture which draws on both her sustainable farming & production baking experience. She lives in Chapel Hill and enjoys being outside, contra dancing, & spending time with her family.
