At Cottrell Country Farm we are “All Natural.” What is All Natural and how does it vary from Organic? Organic certification is a certification process for producers of organic food and other organic agricultural products. In general, any business directly involved in food production must be certified. It takes time and money to become officially organically certified.

We offer special loaves of bread at the farmer market, and from the farm upon request. We take pride in using farm-fresh natural ingredients. We continue to change our varieties of bread, using additives such as fresh blueberries, white and dark chocolates, cranberries, and other mouth-watering ingredients. We bake our bread the night before the farmer’s market to ensure we only sell the freshest product. Come give them a try. After one bite, you’ll be hooked!
