About Us / Goodwin Creek Farm and Bakery History:

We have a passion for wholesome food. We grow it and we make it, we bake it. Everything here is made from scratch. With a lot of work and care, food can be more healthy, more in tune with nature, better for our bodies. It is about better taste and some things you can't measure. In season we have lettuce, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and more.Welcome to Goodwin Creek Farm.

Our produce is available in season around the area. Who We Are John Hellerman started working on Goodwin Creek farm in April of 2005. There was a lot of work to do cleaning up old fence lines and grooming the property. In 2007 we started planting dozens of trees and cultivating many different vegetables. Pears, apples, blueberries, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and other goodies have started production. Farm fresh eggs have been in abundance for the last few months as our free range chickens have been happy to produce one egg each, every day.After a herd of deer became fond of our crops in the summer of 2007 we started baking muffins for the Nellysford Farmers Market to make up for the loss. In 2008 we installed commercial ovens and mixers in our VDA certified kitchen and we're producing fantastic bread every day.At Goodwin Creek Farm we use only better than organic methods to raise our animals and plants. No excuses here, if we have trouble with pests beyond what our gentle methods will handle we recycle and compost the crop and try something different. Think of the leaf chews and spots on some of our produce as assurance that this is some the best the earth has to offer.Goodwin Creek Farm & Bakery is owned and operated by John & Nancy Hellerman.
