Shooting Star Farm
Dan Freeman and Carol Murphy are behind the scenes of Shooting Star Farm, which is located on the North side of Hailey. The farm is a one-acre cornucopia of vegetables, including lettuce, tomatoes, squash, pea shoots, kale, Swiss chard, spinach, carrots, and radishes, plus a small house for our family of four. They have been growing delectable vegetables for ten years, and have cultivated their soil by enriching it with organic compost. Shooting star Farm has never applied a single chemical to the soil or plants; nor any pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides. Simply sun, soil, seed, water and hands; the way food was meant to be grown.
They are particularly known for their delicious greens Kale seems to be a particular favorite of local restaurants and an enviable variety of tomatoes. The local chefs and Farmers’ Market customers eagerly await our first crop. The cool nights at 5400 feet ensure that our lettuce is mild and tasty all summer, and our greenhouses made from reclaimed lumber harbor our flavorful tomatoes.
Dan and Carol hope you will enjoy their vegetables as much as they enjoy growing them.
