WILLOUGHBY OUTDOOR MARKET:

The Market Report | Maggie Fusco

Maggie Fusco is the official Willoughby Outdoor Market writer. Fusco and Justin Kopczak, owners of Wood Road Salad Farm, have been happily married and growing great produce since 2002.  While they are not certified organic, they do use all natural fertilizers. The produce is pesticide-free and harvested within 24 hours of coming to market. They named their farm a “salad” farm because in the beginning they grew mostly lettuces and greens but then one crop led to another, and every season became a new adventure in growing!  Email her at mfusco1@windstream.net.
