Peckham Farms
Peckham Farms
Peckham Farms' operation consists of about 15 acres of field production, and about 50,000 sq ft. of high tunnel (unheated greenhouse) production that uses sustainable practices to grow a diverse selection of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers.
Peckham Farms is supported by a horticultural endowment fund through the Peckham Community Partnership Foundation.
Our employees are given the opportunity to gain new skills and experiences in all aspects of growing and producing food. This includes planting, maintenance, and harvesting of crops, set up of greenhouse systems, tool and machine operation and maintenance, and customer service. We also provide our employees with their own “garden plot,” so they can put their new skills to use and grow food for themselves and their families, free of charge.

This may include flats of strawberries and raspberries, bushels of canning tomatoes and pickling cucumbers, and more. We will use our online marketplace for customers to place and order for pickup at the farm. These products are subject to availability and are first come first serve.

Growing Practices
Peckham Farms has over two acres of passively heated greenhouses that extend our growing season. We use the greenhouses to grow a variety of produce including; strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and more.
We grow our food with a distinct focus on building and preserving the health of our soil and water supply. We recognize that our production output is only as bountiful as our soil is healthy. We use scientifically sound practices in our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to build the quality of our soil such as cover cropping, crop rotation, companion planting, and using beneficial insects and microbes. Whenever possible we use OMRI listed products if additional controls are needed.
We do not use any GMO seed on our farm, nor do we sell any food grown using genetically engineered seed at the Farmstand. We do not use any spray applications in these plots that are not approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI).
Peckham Farms is verified by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development as part of the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) for Greenhouse and Cropping Systems. Peckham Farms is also a member of the Michigan Farm Market Association.
