We are a unique homestead nestled in one of the most picturesque, well-preserved parts of Hunterdon County, NJ. Here, we strive to live a life that is sustainable, in harmony with nature, and supportive of our local community.

Cold Brook Farm is a Certified Organic Farm dedicated to regenerative farming practices and sustainable land use. We are passionate about maximizing the biodiversity and health of the land that surrounds our zero-energy home, and we hope to assist others in learning about sustainable, net-zero living.

Growing fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables organically and regeneratively is both a labor of love AND a vital investment in the health of ourselves, our community and our planet.

First bake with #coldbrookfarm grains using the Respectus Panis method (minimal intervention, minimal levain, super-long, cool fermention). WOW!! This rocked my world!!! #sourdough #breadmaking #bread #regenerativefarming #organic

Back from the @national_health_association conference and catching up on harvesting our produce after three days in Ohio.  Blueberries, Red Raspberries, Sugar Snap Peas, Carrots, bolting Lettuce, Arugula, Mustard Greens. And Black Raspberries, and these little beauties. We only have one artichoke plant, but have gotten 8 artichokes already this year. #coldbrookfarm #permaculture #growyourownfood🌱 #homestead #perennialcrops #artichokes #norestfortheweary #norestforthefarmer

On our way to speak at the @national_health_association conference in Ohio on the topic of living life in balance. We ask the question are any of us living our lives in a perfectly balanced way?? 
Relative to this, yesterday evening we discovered our organic, regeneratively grown garlic needed to be harvested and dried if we were to have a good crop. So, in the most unbalanced way, before an 8 hour car ride, we worked late into the night pulling, bunching, and hanging our 350 heads of garlic. We do the best we can, right?! #coldbrookfarm #nhà #organic #organicfarming #organicgarlic #regenerativefarming #nationalhealthassociation #garlic #growinggarlic #permaculture #lifeinbalance #trytrytry #livingagoodlife #nosleeptilcleveland 😉😊🧄

Blueberries setting their fruit like never before.  This will be our best year yet! And of course, the catbirds, mockingbirds, and other fruit-eating birds are lining up! Maybe we will be lucky enough to harvest a few before they gobble them up! #coldbrookfarm #growingfood #permaculturefarm #harvestingbeforethebirds #blueberries #catbirds #feedingourhabitat #birdsgottaeat #itsnotallaboutus #theraceison
