Liberty Tree Farm

Coming from an agricultural family who always took pride in their vegetable gardens, Jonathan’s “green thumb” was nurtured from an early age. A love of vegetable gardening, history, and food inspired Jonathan Bremer to return to these roots and, with the support of his family, found Liberty Tree Farm in 2015.

The Bremer family grows vegetables, herbs, and flowers naturally in gardens surrounding a home built in the 1730’s in eastern Louisa County. The farm gets the name Liberty Tree from an ancient red cedar towering above the house. In addition to fresh produce the farm adds value and extends its harvest by producing a variety of shelf stable and frozen products. Available this week: smoked green jalapeno sauce, red Anaheim chile sauce & pepper jelly.

Liberty Tree Farm also specializes in heirloom dried southern peas and beans. They plant over 30 varieties during the warm months using them as a cover crop that can also yield a harvest if the weather cooperates. Varieties include Queen Anne blackeye peas, Whippoorwill peas, Southern red peas, Jacob’s Cattle beans, China Yellow beans, Bird Egg beans, and Good Mother Stallard beans. The farm’s peas and beans will be available again this fall, and they make great house warming or holiday gifts.

About Fall Line Farms & Local Roots

Fall Line Farms & Local Roots is a non-profit online farmers market in Central Virginia. We are a producers' co-op of small family farms and local businesses providing fresh local food year round to our members.

As a member you order when you want - there is no requirement to order every week. You shop by the item and there is NO MINIMUM ORDER. With one order and one payment, you are able to order directly from 40+ producers.

Our farmers share with you details about their products and their practices so you can make the best decisions for your family's health and nutrition needs. Completely transparent, you will know exactly where your food is coming from and are encouraged to contact your farmers directly with questions.

How Fall Line Farms & Local Roots Works

Each week our producers post the products they have available, setting their own prices, uploading their own descriptions and photos. You can read about their farming practices and contact them directly with questions.

Using our Buying Pages, you shop online with us any time between Friday at noon to Monday at midnight. You pay for your order online and then pick it up on the following Thursday afternoon between 3:00 and 6:00 pm at one of our Richmond area pickup locations.

Orders are delivered fresh, straight from the farms on Thursdays. Our producers share in the delivery process and we rely on volunteers to sort the orders at the pickup locations. This cooperative system allows us to keep delivery costs down to a minimum meaning more money goes back to the producers.

How we are different

Fall Line Farms and Local Roots opened in the fall of 2008 with one goal in mind, to help small farms through the challenging season ahead. Since then, we have grown and developed but never wavered from this basic focus.

Our innovative online buying program allows small farms to sell their products as they come available at a competitive fair price that is set by them.

There is no minimum supply required for them to sell, allowing very small start up farms to grow and expand into a larger marketplace. We like to think of ourselves as an incubator for small sustainable farms.

Because our producers share in the delivery, we are able to keep our costs low. That means more money goes back to the farms.

We are not a reseller. When you order you are buying directly from the producers in our market.
