Seasonal change
Our products and offerings rotate with the seasons: Instead of extracting what we want from the land year-round, we work naturally with what the land provides us, keeping the soil rich and the farm ecosystem in balance.
Certified Organic
The Grey Barn is a certified organic farm. Our animals are raised without hormones and antibiotics; our produce is non-GMO and grown without industrial pesticides and herbicides; and our breads are made with natural, heritage-breed ingredients. Organic certification brings us closer to the land and aligns with our values of sustainability and responsible practice.
Appreciation
Appreciation and love for our land, our animals, our community, and our coworkers is a daily fact of life at the Grey Barn. Farming on Martha's Vineyard will teach you that life brings little slices of beauty every day, and it’s our aim to replicate that beauty in food for the farm’s patrons and visitors.
“We have the world to live in on the condition that we will take good care of it. And to take good care of it, we have to know it. And to know it and to be willing to take care of it, we have to love it.”
Sustainability
We’re dedicated to regenerative agricultural practices that promote environmental sustainability, land stewardship, and carbon sequestration to ensure that our property continues to serve as a robust working farm for years to come. We strive to incorporate innovative techniques, such as multi-species pasture rotation, that bring small-scale, diversified farming to the forefront of responsible and sustainable agriculture.
Our Team
Our new projects and initiatives spring organically from the expertise and interests of the passionate crew of gardeners, bakers, farmhands, and cheese makers that make up Team Grey Barn. We strive to be a fun and inclusive workplace where the team informs everything we do.
