Castlemaine Farm is the home of Joann and Brian Gallagher, located seven miles East of the town of Liberty, NC in Alamance County - about 20 miles South of Burlington. 2007 will be Castlemaine's fourth growing season and Joann's sixth year of farming. We are vendors at Carrboro Farmers Market and also sell our produce to local restaurants and co-op grocery stores. In 2007 we started our first CSA program, primarily through RTI's CSA program.

Our Farming Practices: We pride ourselves on giving our customers only the best produce from our fields. Freshness, quality and our dedication to sustainability are what separate us from the supermarkets and big box stores. We use no chemical fertilizers, herbicides or synthetic pesticides. We keep our soil healthy through crop rotation and cover cropping. We control weeds and pests primarily with our hands. Our chickens are raised humanely on pasture with the use of chicken tractors and portable net fencing. No antibiotics are used, just all-grain feed containing no animal byproducts.

Castlemaine's fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, cut flowers, quality eggs from pasture-raised hens, and pastured raised chicken are available through our CSA and at:
