This week we want to give a shout out to our “Anchor” – Chickadee Creek Farm. Chickadee Creek is a certified organic vegetable, flower and herb farm started by Jess Niederer in 2010 on her family farm. Four generations of her family has farmed in Hopewell Valley, and Jess’s Grandmother preserved the land so that it can never be developed.
The 80 acre farm is on Titus Mill Road, about a mile down the road from Rosedale Mills . Their crew of 10 farmers grow on 17 of those acres, with 15 of them devoted to vegetables and 2 to small fruits. The goal of Chickadee Creek is three-pronged: make a sustainable living off of the farm, supply their community with healthy and flavorful food, and do all of this as efficiently as possible to keep costs down and to keep life enjoyable for farmers and for their customers.
We are so happy to have Chickadee Creek as a member of our Pennington Farmers Market Family.
