FAY MOUNTAIN FARM |  Meet the Farmers 

Neil grew up playing outdoors. He always loved being in the dirt and getting muddy while exploring. Growing up in the greenhouses on his fathers nursery farm incubated his love for agriculture (It was only a matter of time).  It started out with some chickens, then a few pigs, and cows too. After a couple years Neil started growing a small amount of vegetables for wholesale which he increased from a 1/2 acre the first year, to 7 acres by the 3rd year.  After years of wholesaling while attending college he wanted an opportunity to sell produce at a retail value and offer CSA's.  The timing couldn't be more perfect and that's when he found out about Fay Mountain Farm.  Today Neil still raises pigs, operates about 30 acres of vegetable land, and Leases Fay Mountain Farm from the town of Charlton and provides fresh fruits and vegetables to locals through the store, CSA's, and a few wholesale distributors.
