Description

The 20 year development of Poplar Ridge Farm as an organic Community Supported Agriculture farm is a unique extension of the owners personal adult lifestyles and career studies. The owners have been athletes involved in the organic food movement and advanced nutrition concepts since their teenage years! One of the owners, Marianne Battistone, is currently a health and fitness contributing editor to SELF Magazine. She has been a contributor to Conde Nast publications since 1980. Marianne has been in private practice in NYC and a lecturer, since 1978 to present.
