Greene Family Farm - GNFF
The Greene Family Farm belongs to Sherri and Derek Greene. We both grew up on dairy farms and are fourth-generation vegetable growers. Derek teaches history at a local high school and Sherri home-schools our five children, ages 6 to 15. In our spare time, we all work together tending vegetables, greens, herbs, berries, and apples. We also raise chickens and honeybees on our small farm in Shelby, North Carolina. Our house and garden once belonged to Derek’s grandparents. Derek’s father and uncles are still dairy farmers nearby.
The land was once used to grow cotton, so the soil was very depleted by the time we started farming it. Through the natural fertilization provided by our chickens and mulch, we have been able to get amazing results. Originally, we only grew to provide food for our family, but we were soon harvesting more than we could eat and we have been selling the surplus since December through The Farmers Fresh Market.
Our produce and eggs are hand-crafted. From the mobile A-frames that the hens live in, to our homemade completely natural fertilizer, to the preparation of the beds we grow our produce in, we do the work here carefully, with our own hands. We can tell the difference, and you will be able to, as well.
