Presenter: Anthony Bracco and his family live in Cedar Grove NJ. While running his graphic design business for over 40 years, thirteen years ago he and his wife bought a 25-acre farm in the Black Dirt region of Pine Island, NY. Anthony, who was an avid gardener most of his life, had intended to be a hobby farmer on just an acre growing his family the cleanest produce possible using non-GMO seeds, hand cultivation of weeds, old fashioned farm equipment, picking only when ready, and without chemicals, fertilizers, irrigation, pesticides, herbicides, glyphosate allowing the beautiful Black Dirt soil to naturally regenerate each season. These simple, obvious, time-honored sustainable farming techniques produced a shocking abundance of produce. Immediately that first season, Chefs began to come forward taking notice of the dramatic difference in taste. So, after just one season, Bracco Farms was born out of that demanding momentum of the growing food movement. The following Spring, Bracco Farms bought a tractor and so our story begins.
While still operating as a small family farm using these same sustainable farming techniques producing wonderful, clean, pure produce, Bracco Farms continues to grow its wide variety of market basket produce types for individual customers, families and chefs The farm also supplies farm2table eateries and country clubs primarily in New Jersey where the Bracco’s live. Bracco Farms continues to maintain upfront openness and invites any customer to come visit the farm and walk our fields with us while we pick your order.
