Terra Verde Homestead is a 10 acre farm dedicated to a market garden and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). We also raise a variety of heirloom chickens and turkeys, Indian Runner Ducks, honeybees, and are developing fruit and nut orchards, perennial berries, and flowers. We also have a menagerie of animals including Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, sheep, and a llama.
Be sure to visit Alvin Martin of Misty Meadows Country Market in Conn. Alvin, who came up with the idea of the Horse and Buggy Trail in 2009, is happy to see the Trail finally open and
welcomes everyone to visit the farms and other
businesses on the Trail.
Open year round, the Trail follows the scenic back
roads of Southgate. Visit the tidy farmsteads where you are welcome to browse for local food, maple syrup, eggs, flowers, baking, and preserves galore plus two local butchers, an authentic general store, a baker, furniture makers and even a buggy shop and old feed mill!
