Welcome to Grindstone Farm
With 45 years of local organic produce farming experience — 38 years NOFA certified organic produce — Grindstone Farm, a well-known leader in organic produce for Syracuse, Watertown NY, CNY and Northern New York, has been farming high-quality organic fruits and vegetables, and we offer CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) boxes filled with them. We are growers and also serve as a link between you and other organic farms to offer fresh fruit, vegetables, meats (pasture-raised organic and GMO-free), organically produced products. We host an On-Farm Market each Friday during the growing season from 11 am to 3 pm and then we will be at the Pulaski Farmer’s Market in the Village from 4pm to 8pm. CSA box pickups are also at the farm during Friday market hours.
Farm Offerings
Our farm’s offerings are available to customers through CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, our seasonal Friday On-Farm Market, the Pulaski Farmers Market, and to those wishing to place special bulk orders as well as wholesale customers.
Products
Grindstone Farm specializes in providing a wide range of organic produce from within its 230 acres. Our largest crop is blueberries followed by asparagus, both perennial crops. A vibrant and rich array of healthy colorful organically produced vegetables cover the landscape of our fields during the growing season which we are delighted to offer our customers.
Practices and Partners
Since 1981, Grindstone Farm started, we pursued implementing sustainable growing practices; the farm began formal transition in 1985 and was granted organic certification by NOFA-NY in 1988.
Our mission: We are dedicated to maintaining a policy of stewardship of the land through sustainable growing practices which will allow future generations to inherit a better piece of the earth to enjoy as we have. We ensure that our partner farms also maintain sustainable practices.
Root Crop Washers
Back in the 1980s, Farmer Dick needed a way to wash large amounts of root crops faster and with less labor and designed his own root crop washer. Now 35 years in production at Grindstone, our washers have helped hundreds of farms across the USA, from Maine to Alaska, and even internationally make quick work of washing root crops for market. As a testament to the efficiency and utility of this equipment, National US Farm Bureau designated Grindstone’s Crop Washer as one of 2010’s “Top 10 Best Farm Innovations in the Nation”.

Grindstone hosts Farm-To-Table dinners and other events at our farm. Need a site to hold an outdoor event or celebration? Consider us!
