PIERPONT FARMS

Pierpont Farms is a locally owned and operated small scale vegetable farm located just outside the city limits of Columbia, Missouri with the goal of providing high quality and delicious produce to our community through sustainable farming... Some of the sustainable practices we use on our farm include crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting which help build healthy soil (and therefore healthy produce!). For pests, we utilize beneficial insects and use only chemical-free pesticides when needed. We created a water catchment system by adding a pond whose water we pump through drip irrigation which minimizes water usage, allowing it to be directed straight to the roots of the plant. We are also currently working on lowering our plastic use.
