Fog & Thistle Farm

Fog and Thistle Farm is located in Germantown, NY on a 60 acre parcel that includes our 4 acres of vegetable fields and animal pasture, an old apple orchard, an active sugar bush, and a medicinal herb business. The vegetable farm is run by Eileen Wallding and Nicholas Pandjiris. Ashley Loehr runs the livestock operation. These dedicated farmers bring with them over 20 years of farming experience, a wide range of skills and interests, and old fashioned hard working attitudes. In addition to stewarding the land and running the vegetable business, they also host a variety of free educational and community events at the farm.

Fog & Thistle's farm management techniques focus on building healthy and diverse communities of plants, microorganisms and insects without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, or genetically modified seeds. They adhere to all organic standards, and also incorporate biodynamic methods into our practices. They use cover crops to prevent soil erosion and build fertility, work to minimize our dependence on fossil fuel powered machinery, and work to support local businesses in our farm purchases.
