PlowGirl Farm

Earth-Friendly Agriculture PlowGirl Farm practices earth-friendly, sustainable agriculture on a simple eight-acre plot just west of Chapel Hill.

We grow a wide range of vegetables and specialize in heirloom tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms and culinary ginger. Dingo Dog Brewing Company, a non-profit whose proceeds benefit companion animal rescue, is located in our barn. Together we've created a zero-waste facility utilizing "ugly" produce for brewing and composted spent grain and gray water for fertilizer. We also maintain bee hives and share

the land with rescued animals including three goats. We work with nature, not against it, and tend the crops with a “less is more” philosophy.

I'll have winter greens at market this week but no shiitakes. May I suggest you try them in liquid form at the Dingo Dog taproom. This popular brown ale is incredible. Trust me. I'll see you at the Chapel Hill Farmers' Market Saturday morning at 9am.

Fan favorite Buster Brown Ale with Shiitake Mushrooms from PlowGirl Farm is back on tap today! Brewed with fresh mushrooms from right outside our brewery doors, this classic brown ale is accentuated with earhtones and nuttiness. Perfect for this weather. See you soon, Carrboro!

Brrr. We're all tucked in. Tunnels of greens and rows of garlic in the South field, Brussels and onions in the North field. Bundle up for the Saturday Chapel Hill Farmers' Market. We open at 9:00 am.

I'm thankful folks can take the sweet potatoes I grow and turn them into a dish like this. Wow. Just wow!

11/22/2024

Saturday at 9:00 am you'll find me with a table full of fresh produce necessary for your T-Day feast. And don't forget to visit Dingo Dog Brewing Company at the tent next door for award winning craft beer and cider.

Waste not! Our ugly sweet potatoes make the best lager that's named after a kitty who once graced our farm.

It's a wonderful sunny day at the taproom for a new beer release: Leona's Sweet Potato Lager is now pouring. Crisp and refreshing this lager was made with sweet potatoes from PlowGirl Farm. See you soon, Carrboro.

Last minute change in the Saturday lineup. Instead of mustard greens I'll have beautiful Napa cabbage. Also sweet potatoes, kale, collards, Brussels Sprouts, Brussels tops (yummy, tender top leaves), green onions and more! We open at 9am.

We're on winter hours now. We open at 9am. See you Saturday!

If you have mushroom logs start paying attention as the nights get cooler. Last week Market customer Connie Vance sent a photo of her logs beginning their first fall flush.

10/25/2024

Wow, look at all we're offering. Come early for the best selection.

Not one, but two guardians working together in the sweet potatoes.

Harvesting in the rain isn't so bad when the greens are this pretty. See me for collards, kale, mustard and a variety of fall veggies Saturday morning at the Chapel Hill Farmers' Market.

Pick up some tender okra, butternuts and fall greens as you sip your way through market.

This program sincerely makes a difference. Please help if you're able.

A GoFundMe campaign launched this week will help the Double Bucks program finish the year in Orange County.

Small farms, breweries and beekeepers wouldn't exist without the support of a caring community. Thanks to all the folks who made the '24 Piedmont Farm Tour a memorable one.

Back to market with loads of green garlic, buttercrunch lettuce, spicy mustard greens, spring onions, bok choy, mixed greens and "grow your own" shiitake mushroom logs. The holly trees are humming with bees and spring has finally sprung. See you Saturday morning at the Chapel Hill Farmers' Market. And be sure to visit us on the CFSA Piedmont Farm Tour: https://www.carolinafarmstewards.org/piedmont-farm-tour/

My sweet and talented nephew-in-law, Jordan, sent some clips from the 2022 Farm Tour. Beautiful shots! So come see me at market on Saturday for crunchy bok choy, green garlic, spring onions, kohlrabi and more plus "grow your own" shiitake logs and culinary ginger. #dingodogbrewing #chfarmersmarket #plowgirlfarm

Melissa and Michael are keeping a close eye on the hives this spring. You can check out the bees on the Piedmont Farm Tour! I'll be hauling veggies to market on Saturday and yes, it's going to RAIN, but your farmers will be there waiting for you. Grab an umbrella and stop by, a little water never hurt anyone :)

I've been laying biodegradable mulch (sound up for the birdie serenade) and there's more to come as soon as the ground dries up a bit. Drop by market on Saturday for some big stalks of green garlic and other spring things plus "grow your own" shiitake mushroom logs.
