Cooley Family Farm was established in 2001 when we purchased a few acres near Lafayette, Indiana on the corner of County Road 900 East and Highway 26.

Strawberry Field - May 2009

Our farm began as 6 acres with a house and a barn that had been built in 1901.  Since then we have added four high tunnels creating over 7000 square feet of indoor growing space and we are currently renting an additional eight acres.  Our produce is made available direct to our customers through our Harvest Basket Subscriptions (CSA) and through our "Online Farm Stand", the first of its kind in this area.

Our farming practices have always been sustainable by nature.  We do not use any synthetic chemicals to control weeds or insects.  We choose not to use treated, GE or GMO seed.  Heirloom and open pollinated seed varieties are among our favorites.

To improve our soils we use cover crops, compost, rotation and natural rock based minerals and do not use synthetic fertilizers.

All of our farming practices help us to produce the best tasting and most nutritious food we can for our customers.

2008 Harvest Basket Gathering
and Farm Tour

For the 2009 season we have added more openings to our popular Harvest Basket (CSA).  We enjoy the community of families that subscribe to our weekly baskets, and we take great pride in growing a wide variety of seasonal as well as extended season vegetables for their dinner tables.

Please learn more about us and our farm by continuing to browse our website and be sure to take a look at the photo gallery for an up-close view of our farm.
