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 30 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”.
