Gibbet Hill Farm (http://www.gibbethillfarm.com) is a 1.5 acre, minimal-till diversified farm located in Groton, MA. Our farm is part of the Webber Restaurant Group, an independent, family-owned restaurant group. We are primarily dedicated to supplying delicious organic produce to our chefs. We also operate a small 30 member CSA to local community members. In addition, we host a series of farm-to-table dinners throughout the growing season on site that are able to showcase the abundant and beautiful produce we grow and connect people with local food systems. On the farm we grow a mix of seasonal veggies, herbs, perennial fruits & berries, microgreens, edible and cut flowers, along with raising a small herd of lambs and pigs and soon chickens. This will be our ninth season using a minimal till system and organic practices and we are growing stronger by the year.
