Spain Farm – Tuesdays & Saturdays

The Spain Farm is a fourth generation small farm tucked away between the woods and urban growth in Raleigh, North Carolina. We are innovatively trying to take dominion over the land by using stewardship techniques to preserve the land for the next generation. Our philosophy is to work together with the animals and the food we grow; instead of trying to artificially stimulate them, we make them our partners in this business in a sense. Our specialty is shiitake mushrooms. Grown in the woods on logs, our mushrooms are sheltered under the shade, using the most natural fertilizer available, fresh water. We are currently putting into place the paddock system to use with our animals which will allow each animal to participate in the polyculture we are creating by contributing their own kind of fertilizer and cleaning up after each other. This system creates rich areas that grow from natural fertilizers to provide top quality food for each animal. We try to limit the amount of grain as much as possible and allow the animals to graze on succulent grasses so that their meat will be rich with vitamins and enzymes. As grazers, the boar goats are the first to glean the area, next are the Muscovy, Cayuga and Khaki Campbell ducks which are top grazers and then there is the clean-up crew – the chickens. Two guardian livestock dogs, Maggie and Sampson, work in harmony to keep everyone safe. Our offerings include shiitake mushrooms, figs, cabrito (goat meat), duck meat and eggs and chicken eggs. We use no pesticides on our food or antibiotics on our animals. There is no need because the food we grow and the animals we raise help each other in a wonderful cycle, just as they were created. We try to do our best in everything we grow, to nurture our mushrooms, goats and other facets of our operation in order to uphold our end of the bargain, in short to be good stewards.

Sunburst Tomatoes - Saturdays

Tim and Nancy Bass are from a little place called Momeyer, a small town in Nash County, North Carolina. Our farm has been in Tim's family for nearly 200 years. Prior to our marriage in 1990, Tim was making a fair living by growing tobacco, soybeans, cotton, and a few chickens. With the changing times, we decided we needed to change the emphasis of the farming operation. In 1992, an opportunity arose to be a part of a grass roots effort to start a farmers market in Nash County. We began growing every local, southern, garden vegetable that first year to sell at the newly established Nash Area Farmers Market. Realizing the need for an early and consistent tomato grower to help "grow the market", we decided to give it a try. We researched, studied, and learned to grow greenhouse tomatoes in 1993. Now, eighteen years later, we have found a few more opportunities to market our tomatoes and have been able to increase the size of our operation. We are now a part of two farmers markets as well as a few wholesale outlets. What we do has enabled us to stay on the farm and enjoy the lifestyle that only a farmer can appreciate.
