Root Down Farm
Root Down Farm is a family owned farm run by Steve and Erin Blabac located near the heart of Clarence Center. Started in the spring of 2011 to support 50 CSA shares, it has grown to serve 300 members and FreshFix customers! The farm consists of leased land throughout the town of Clarence; some of which is protected by the Western New York Land Conservancy.All of Root Down crops are grown without the use of conventional, synthetic or artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. The farm grows many varieties of vegetables, using a careful rotation of crops to help mitigate pests and disease. The farm also strives to minimize its dependency on natural resources by converting a cultivating tractor to an electric motor and using drip irrigation.
In order to preserve your beets, you can store in the refrigerator with their tops removed for 2-3 weeks. However, the beet leaves will only last a day or two when stored in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.
