Nina's Red Barn Farm

Nina Bertsch, one of our favorite "farm gals"!

A farm in Ringwood!? You bet!

Nina Bertsch runs a half-acre of intense planting on Stonetown Road. Witness her raised bed technology, and you will see an example of efficiency and productivity. This method allows a large number of vegetables, herbs, and flowers to be grown in small, compact spaces.

Nina gets help with her very large, productive garden from family members and friends who are paid in produce. The garden uses organic gardening techniques. In fact, if you’d like to save your coffee grinds, tea bags and egg shells, Nina will cheerfully recycle them in her compost piles, 5 of them at last count. This year she’s adding shredded paper to feed her army of hungry, hard working worms.
