Ogdensburg Green Market

Brian & Debby Hicks, Heritage Farm                   Berries, vegetables, herbs, eggs and chicken           We began raising our own vegetables 32 years ago, just after the birth of our first child. Concerned for the safety and welfare of our four children, we have expanded our garden each year. Now we supply our children and their children with wholesome, nutritious fruit and vegetables. Now days, they arrive here at various times of the year and help us with storage and canning. Extra hands are always a good thing! We continue to grow our fruits and vegetables the same way that we have for our family. We are not Certified Organic, but we grow things the same way. As we don't ship our products to corporations we haven't felt the need to expend money and time to meet those guidelines. That money and time ultimately converts into costs, that are passed on to the consumer. We do not use petrol-chemical fertilizers, synthetic and toxic herbicides or insecticides. Most of our farming supplies come from Martin's Organic Supply, right her in St. Lawrence County. Ask us about our use of Hi Brix farming methods.

Last year we planted and orchard of fruit trees. Twenty six different varieties of apples, several varieties of pears, plums, apricots and cherry trees. We are adding many more this year! We continue to improve our plantings of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberry plants.  We have many varieties of squash (winter and summer), garlic and asparagus plants. Drop by and see how many different varieties and colors of tomatoes we have. In response to those who loved our pickling cukes, we tripled our plantings this year. Bulk sales are available. This year we repaced our flock of laying hens for those who love fresh eggs. Our melons, (featured in an article of the Watertown Times) were a huge hit at the farmers markets. Many admirers sait thet they had never had such a tasty melon. That's right and it wasn't shipped from Peru, China or Mexico! Our CSA memberships support the Garden Share Bonus Bucks program and Food Stamps are accepted. Remember, good food should't be expensive! If you missed us at the kGreen Market com on out and see us at our roadsind stand! We wait all winter long for the fresh greens and salads of Spring and Summer. See you at the Green Market!
