Our Mission
Casselmonte Farm is family owned and operated by India and Bill Cox. We purchased the property in 2006, renovated the house and began reclaiming the land, which had been neglected for years. We are seeing the rewards for our efforts as the land is blossoming again!
In many ways, we are coming full circle … returning to our rural roots. Bill is from South Carolina, and India was raised on a cattle farm in Georgia.
What led us to begin the farm’s market garden in 2009 was our pursuit of the perfect tomato for the perfect BLT! That engendered the search for the perfect asparagus for first-spring-green-goodness, then the perfect blackberry and blueberry for pies and shiitake mushrooms for pure richness year ‘round!
We have combined our beliefs in sustainability and good stewardship of the land to keep our produce free from chemical pesticides and fertilizers by:
Using crop rotation, cover crops and compost to naturally improve the soil and reduce plant diseases
Creating habitats for beneficial insects and wildlife, such as honeybees, quail and wild turkeys, to pollinate the blossoms, remove insect pests and enrich the soil.
We are avid supporters of the Slow Food movement.
