Box Turtle Bakery

A bakery started in Carrboro in 2009 with a mission of locally sourced ingredients, whole grains, and hearth-baked breads. Several of my wheat varieties were grown here in Orange County and I’ll continue to seek out local and regional grains along with the local eggs, dairy, fruits, and vegetables I am already using. I have both stone and metal mills and freshly grind all my flours and cracked grains. All my breads rest the dough for over 12 hours to bring out the flavor and nutrition of the whole-grain flours. Baking is done in a large masonry oven for a true hearth-bread crust and nice radiant heat for all my baked goods. Selections will vary seasonally and week-to-week, but will include hearth breads, pan breads, pitas, muffins, croissants, scones, granola, and more.

Little Sprout Farm is now in its first year of production up in Cedar Grove. Run by Carrboro native Becca Wait, the farm is committed to growing everything in the most sustainable manner possible. I won’t use any synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. I will use plenty of compost, manure, and cover crops to build up my soil. After farming for several years on other small farms in the area, I’ve learned a lot about growing a wide variety of veggies and I’m excited to transition from farmhand to farmer and put all my growing knowledge to the test.
I plan to grow as many different vegetables as I can get my hands on- everything from salad mix to rainbow carrots and golden beets to tomatoes and melons galore. I am also running a small CSA, shoot me an email if you’re interested in more information! And stop by my stand-
long days in the field feel much more rewarding when I know the customers I’m growing for!

Okfuskee Farm

Our young farm, incorporated June 2008, was designed for biodiversity, self-reliance, and low-input/high yield food production systems on every one of its 20 acres.

Cover crops and home-made biological inoculants (made from worm-castings and compost) are staples to our farming. We currently sell at two Saturday farmers’ markets, local restaurants, and through a beginning CSA (direct-order email list).

Some of what you will find in various stages of development at Okfuskee Farm includes the following:
• Year-round organic vegetable production in both no-till, intensively managed beds and a 2,000 sq.ft. greenhouse

We are a small family farm dedicated to producing “homegrown” chicken, eggs, beef and produce to provide local families with a healthy alternative to commercially raised products.

Wild Dog Farm

Wild Dog Farm is in its second year of operation and is farmed by Mimi, Alan, and Daniel. We are in Snow Camp, North Carolina and the farm is named after the wild coyotes that share the farm and our own wild dogs, Pepper and Conan. We are committed to sustainable, organic, earth and bee friendly farming and we do not use any synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or chemicals. Our ducks and chickens are fed a locally milled organic feed from Reedy Fork Farm and spend their days enthusiastically chasing bugs. We use our duck and chicken manure to sustain the soil; our goal is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that will nourish and sustain the earth, the animals, native and honey bees, and our local community. We do not treat our bee hives with antibiotics or anything else and we are actively working to create an ecology that will nourish native bees as well. We believe that genetic diversity is critical and thus raise heritage breeds of ducks and chickens: Blue Swedish and Ancona ducks, and Welsummer, Americauna, Araucana, Dominick, Black Copper Maran, Dark Rhode Island Red, and Buckeye chickens. This year we are selling blueberries and duck and chicken eggs. Next year we will have a larger variety of sustainably grown fruit, vegetables, and honey for sale. We have old apples, pears, and persimmons planted and hope to have them in production in a few more years.
