Sun Gold Farm

Sun Gold Farm is owned and operated by Charlie and Vicki Hertel and their son, Chris.  They are a small family farm that grows hundreds of varieties of fruits, vegetables and nuts that they sell directly to the consumer at various farmer’s markets and through their “Harvest Box” program, also known as a CSA. Their farm does not use GMO’s. They are careful to grow their produce without pesticides.
