About ShadowBrook Farm

ShadowBrook farm is a small, family owned diversified vegetable farm. We own a total of 34 acres. About 10 acres are devoted to growing certified organic specialty vegetables and herbs. We also plant about an acre of cut-flowers. We are committed to sustainable farming practices and are devoted to being good stewards of our land. Our goal is to plant green manure crops in a third of our vegetable ground annually.

We are using grass-based beef cows as part of our rotation. We have a herd of dairy goats that are currently used for our own dairy needs. We are currently using four hoop-houses to extend our growing season. Using this system we are able to produce vegetables for ten month a year.

We have 12 acres in alfalfa which we use for our own animals, for making compost, as well as for grazing. We want to help move towards a “regional food system” where food is sold directly to the consumer rather than traveling many miles to reach the end user. We strive to produce the highest quality and freshest vegetables available. We are located within the three mile city limit of Lincoln .

Being in the urban fringe has allowed us to establish a good market for our products. We sell at both Lincoln and Omaha farmers markets as well as to local grocery stores and restaurants. We also offer a vegetable subscription program. In the last three years we have opened an on-farm store where we sell our own products as well as other locally produced farm products that we purchase from area farmers.

We feel that by purchasing locally, you the consumer are not only getting the finest foods for your family but are also supporting family farms and your local economy.
