Our History
In the 1790’s Suzanna and Enoch Cate settled what is now known as the Cate Farm. Their descendants owned the farm until 1901. After that, it was bought and sold a number of times, but continued as a dairy or sheep farm. In 1964, Goddard College purchased Cate Farm and used it for faculty residence. Additionally, Bread and Puppet Theater was housed on the farm in the early 1970’s. Richard Wiswall bought the farm in 1981.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: To grow the highest quality plants and produce for our community, at a price that is fair to both customers and farmers alike.
Cate Farm grows a wide variety of certified organic herb, flower, vegetable and medicinal seedlings. We constantly trial new varieties, and appreciate any suggestions you may have. For tips on growing and transplanting, check out our Get Growing page.
