Welcome to Delpine Farms

Delpine Farms is a family run, mixed vegetable market garden located at the foothills of the Little Belt Mountains and Castle Mountains in Martinsdale, Montana. We rotate laying hens around the farm to produce the most excellent pasture raised eggs. We farm a wide variety of seasonal vegetables using farming practices and plant selections that work with nature instead of against it. We can only begin to produce a healthy crop, once we have nurtured our soil so above all else, we focus on developing a diverse and thriving soil biology. We utilize compost, compost teas, cover crops, beneficial flowers and plants attracting beneficial insects, follow no-till practices and plant seeds that are developed for growing in our extreme and changing climate conditions.

Lt’s talk big picture. We are super focused on our farm and our impact on our land, but we are also aware of our larger impact on our world and ecosystems. In the past we have stayed away from produce products that require plastic packaging as we just have never felt comfortable creating more products packaged is single-use plastics and contributing to an unsustainable system. That all changed when we found a compostable clamshell from EcoMontana for our microgreens and salad mixes. While we do not yet have access to a comercial composter to properly compost these packaging products, we still feel that these products are still better even if they end up in a landfill. They will break down eventually and will not be a forever-plastic contaminant left behind long after we are gone. Because we care about using eco-friendly packaging we also needed a compostable package label. We are proud to use PURE Labels for our 100% compostable/recyclable labels, made by Elevate Packaging. We love our planet and know that each sustainable packaging choice we make matters!

fRESH AND LOCAL FOR the COMMUNITY

Delpine Farms grows fresh and nutritious food to serve our community in Central Montana.  We hope to help provide food solidarity to our community and help encourage others to do so in their communities.  We want our farm to educate and inform our community on ways they can help improve health and well being for themselves, their family and their community.  We want to provide our Delpine Farms fresh grown vegetables and pasture raised eggs, together with other Montana grown and made products that are in line with our ethics and community goals. We want to provide more access to quality food that can heal our bodies and our land.  We hope Delpine Farms can be a place where the community can access delicious local foods, gather, share recipes, and cultivate community solidarity.  Imagine if every community, no matter how small, had a farm trying to do the same thing?  Join us on this journey!
