Meet Vicki Emlaw, Vicki's Veggies
Vicki’s Veggies was started in 2000 as a solo venture by 9th generation South Bay farmer, Vicki Emlaw. Growing mostly vegetables in an organic style, Vicki and her partner, Tim Noxon, farm with a handful of workers from February to December. Among this summer’s changes at the farm: more varieties of heirloom tomatoes, brightly-coloured cut flowers and 100 young chickens who “lay beautiful eggs”. Their Community Supported Agriculture project doubled its membership, which Vicki credits to their new home-delivery service.
