Teeter Farm is the oldest family farm in the Town of Ithaca. We were one of the first CSA (Community Support Agriculture) farms in the county, and only gave that up, regretfully, when we assumed responsibility for the entire farm and those responsibilities no longer allowed for the time needed to run a CSA. We continued to grow our own vegetable seedlings for transplant and have been a regular vendor at the Annual Ithaca Plant Sale for many years. Starting in 2013, we will offer Custom Transplants, adapting a CSA model, to provide a wider range of varieties as well as the exact quantities of the varieties our customers want. If this intrigues you, please contact us and we will be in touch after the first of the year.
