Our Story

Jarvis Harvest officially began in 2025, but the real story starts much earlier. Our lineage dates back well over a century in our neck of the woods; some records indicate as far back as the late 1600’s.

Our Mission

At Jarvis Harvest, our mission is to provide the freshest, highest-quality produce while maintaining environmentally sustainable farming practices. We believe that healthy food comes from healthy soil, and we’re committed to farming methods that nurture the land for generations to come.

Our Farming Practices

Sustainable Agriculture

We implement sustainable farming methods that protect and enhance the environment:

• Crop Rotation: We rotate crops to maintain soil health and reduce pest problems.
• Reduced Tillage: We minimize soil disturbance to preserve soil structure and reduce erosion.
• Water Conservation: Our drip irrigation systems reduce water usage while ensuring crops get what they need.
• Integrated Pest Management: We use natural predators and targeted approaches to manage pests without excessive chemicals.

Organic Focus

While not all our products are certified organic, we follow many organic principles:

• Limited use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides
• Focus on building healthy soil through composting and natural amendments
• Emphasis on biodiversity across our farm

Our Team

Jarvis Harvest is still family-owned and operated, with three generations of the Jarvis family working alongside our dedicated team of agricultural professionals. Together, we bring decades of farming experience and a shared passion for sustainable agriculture.
