Fishel's Organics

About us

We grew up with backyard gardens and memories of late summer harvests. My father was “organic” before it was a catch-phrase, trucking home load after load of autumn leaves, liming the soil each year, and rotating “crops” through the city plot. To this day, I still believe that he had the best soil I've ever seen. I began learning about larger scale organic farms, as well as the CSA model, in 2002. My husband, Joe, will still talk your ear off about the bushels and bushels of tomatoes he and his brothers had to help transform into sauce – the “wash and squash” days. We still have the 100-year-old tomato press brought from Italy by his father's mother, and we still use it every year.
