Our Story

Farming Family

We are thrilled to be back working the soil we worked as kids and doubly so to be doing it with our kids. Inspired by our uncles Loren, Jr. and Ed Bailey, we hope to become leading providers of local, sustainably produced organic produce. Wright Brothers Farm is truly a family effort. While we each have a different way of expressing it - we all share certain values and goals:

The desire to grow great tasting vegetables in a sustainable manner; the love of family heritage and each other; and a commitment to environmental stewardship, this farmland and our planet.

We are pleased to rejoin the community of growers working to provide fresh, nutritious and local food to our CSA customers, chefs, restauranteurs and commercial customers. We're grateful for those who allow us to grow the vegetables they choose to put on their tables for their families and valued customers. We work hard every day to earn your continued trust to provide the very best local produce possible.

Thank you for your support of our farm and our family. If you are interested in getting started with our CSA program click here to learn more!

People ask us how we decide who does what. That’s easy. We each focus on what we’re best at. I like to solve production problems – that is what I do in my non-farm job. I am interested in figuring out how to do whatever needs doing on the farm in the most efficient way possible. I love working with Matt to figure out how to build what we need next – from irrigation, to hoop houses, to a composting system. I want people to look at what we do and say “Of course, that’s the way to do it.” We sure don’t know all the answers but I enjoy trying to figure things out.

In starting this farm, I want to grow incredible produce for families and our area’s amazingly creative chefs (getting more tasty vegetables onto the plates of kids would be a great bonus too😉). In my role, I focus on the seeds, working with our customers and coordinating our efforts to provide a great customer experience. I’m inspired to once again make our farm known for delicious tasting produce - I love our carrots, beets and heirloom tomatoes. Lastly, I want us to create a family business that allows all the generations to pitch in – in the manner in which each of us chooses to. We are doing all three things. I am proud of what we’ve done so far and excited to see what the future brings.

For me, the farm is synonymous with family. To think that our great-grandparents started clearing this land for farming in 1903 gives me a special feeling. When I walk by the old barn on the property, I’m reminded how lucky we are to be on this land so many years later. I have so many wonderful memories of my grandparents whose farmhouse is still on the property. Craig, Chris and I started working in the fields in grade school. It was hard work, but it profoundly shaped who we are today. If you can weed carrots on your hands and knees for 8 hours on a hot, summer day as a kid, you can do most any kind of work. My cousin Jed worked with his dad Loren for years on the property after we all left the farm for careers in “the city.” Jed has been a source of inspiration for us. Taste any vegetable that comes from our soil here, and you will become a believer in Wright Brothers Farm. The sweet, juicy goodness is just like the produce we helped our uncles grow. I believe the food on our tables should come from local farms whenever possible. It’s good for us and the planet. I also hope that 100 years from now our family is still on the farm—enjoying this land that is at the heart of who we are.
