Terrapin Farm

Terrapin Farm is a certified organic farm and greenhouse near Whitefish Montana with a deep commitment to giving more to our environment than we take from it. Growing over 500 varieties, many of which are selected through an on farm breeding program, Terrapin Farm produces a unique selection of vegetables, fruit and herbs appropriate for our micro-climate. Terrapin Farm is committed to the community and it shows. Terrapin Farm introduced CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to the Flathead Valley in 1995 and remains the original organic CSA program in the Valley. The Terrapin Farm CSA program was created to drive community involvement in organic farming, welcoming its member families to participate in all aspects from seed to harvest. Other aspects of Terrapin's community involvement include working with local schools to develop healthier lunch programs as well as offering opportunities for field trips where students learn hands on. Volunteers are welcome to come on out, pull up a weed (or two), and stay a while. Tours may be arranged to educate individuals and groups on how and where their food is grown. The farm has an intensive apprenticeship program and welcomes prearranged work trades and visitors. Over a dozen former apprentices are currently farming on their own farms and still frequently "consult" with Terrapin Farm. Terrapin Farm owner and operator, Judy Owsowitz, has been farming in the challenging climate of Northwestern Montana for over 40 years. She was a member
