About the Farm
Second Street Farm is located just outside the city limits of Lander, Wyoming and owned and operated by Bailey and Pat Brennan. We are a small but diverse operation. We have about one acre under vegetable and flower production, including three large high-tunnels. Our growing season is short; this is a great place to learn how to grow vegetables and flowers in the arid Mountain West.
We use organic practices and do our best to be good stewards of the soil and land. We use a combination of drip tape and overhead sprinklers in the garden. We cultivate, hand weed, cover crop, add compost and tarp to help manage crops and build soil. We grow warm weather crops under row cover and in the high-tunnels, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and eggplant. We grow lots of storage crops to help get us and our customers through the long winters. We sell most of our produce at the Lander Valley Farmers Market every Saturday, June through October and through online sales. We also raise grass-fed Dexter cattle for beef and put up our own hay.
This is our seventh season growing vegetables and flowers and sixth season raising cattle. We are still learning and expanding and hope to find someone to join us on our adventure.
Lander is home to a vibrant outdoor community and some of the best rock climbing in the world. There is quick access to the mountains, lakes, rivers, excellent fishing and other recreation opportunities. Jackson Hole and Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are only a few hours away.
