THE OWNERS
2009: A spark of an idea began to take shape using blueberry plants rooted from their own personal plants and inherited property. Here is a photo of the land before things got started.
Olde Carthage Farm is owned by Jane and Harvey Godfrey. Together with their two sons, Jonathan and Josh, and their sons' families they have built the farm on farm land that has been passed down through the family continuing the family tradition of farming. These are the folks you will see every time you visit our farm.
The farm is in its early years but a lot has happened in that time. Take a quick look below at what has been accomplished in that short time
