Agape Acres Farm

03/25/2025

$250,000 an acre—that’s the price developers are dangling for my farm. It’s not just a tempting number; it’s a sign of the mounting pressure facing farms like mine. Nestled in a so-called “land shortage” area, where open space is vanishing to meet the demand for housing and commercial development, my 313-year-old farm finds itself at a crossroads.
For over 92 years, my family has worked this land, continuing the legacy of just three families before us. We’ve toiled through good seasons and bad, relying on the resilience of this soil to grow crops that nourish our community. Developers approach often, offering to buy the land for subdivisions. They see only numbers, not the heritage, the hard work, or the connection to the community that this farm represents.
Farming is not an easy life. It tests your body, your mind, and your spirit. But it’s a life I cherish. There’s something deeply rewarding about cultivating food that feeds both my family and my neighbors. Even in difficult years when Mother Nature deals a harsh blow, farmers lace up their boots and prepare for the next season, holding on to hope.
As we look ahead to the New Year, I ask you to add something special to your resolutions: Support Local Farms.
Here’s how you can help:
Cook at Home More: Let farm stands inspire your meals.
Buy a Farm Share: Invest in your local farm through a CSA.
Choose Local Milk: Support nearby dairies.
Visit Farmers Markets: Shop fresh produce near your work or home.
Visit Farms: Meet the farmers who grow your food.
Land once developed is lost forever. Farms stand strong against development only when their neighbors stand with them. Every dollar you spend is a vote for the future you want to see—a future that values green spaces, fresh food, and the people who work tirelessly to provide them.
Let’s work together to keep our farms thriving. Choose local. Eat local. Support the caretakers of our working landscapes.

Finally, Western Connecticut and Westchester County Have Direct Access To Delicious Locally Grown Microgreens – That Are Up To 40X More Nutrient-Dense Than Mature Greens Like Broccoli!

Hey, I’m Don Markowsky, your local microgreens farmer.

My farm, Agape Acres, is a small ‘direct to community’ farm that offers home delivery anywhere in Western Connecticut or Westchester County.

We specialize in growing 4 varieties of nutrient-dense microgreens that have been proven by research to have countless potential health benefits:

✅ Boosts your immune system

✅ Reduces chronic disease risk

✅ Helps with weight loss

✅ Lowers inflammation

✅ Improves gut health

Private message me via this page if you're interested in having my microgreens delivered to your doorstep every week, less than 24 hours after they’re harvested.

What are Microgreens?

Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage.

They are “living foods” – Purposefully utilized in their most nutritious and delicious state.

Why are microgreens healthier than regular greens like lettuce, spinach & kale?

✅ Their nutrient content is more concentrated

✅ Their vitamin and antioxidants levels are up to 40X higher than more mature greens

✅ They’re richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium

✅ They’re richer in micro minerals such as iron, zinc and copper

✅ And I can go on and on… They’re richer in B vitamins, essential amino acids, folate etc!

What are the top 4 microgreens that we specialize in growing?

1. Sunflower

2. Pea

3. Broccoli

4. Red Radish

One of the things I love most about these 4 varieties (other than the countless health benefits) is that they’re so easy to use!

In fact, if you want to taste real food and feel real health, I recommend you add them to virtually every single meal (You and your taste buds can thank me later!)

✅ Sandwiches & Wraps

✅ Salads

✅ Smoothies & Juices

✅ Soups

That’s just a few examples.

I encourage you to get creative and experiment with microgreens as they can add so much flavor, texture & color to your meals!

Want my microgreens delivered to your doorstep every week, less than 24 hours after they’re harvested?

I offer 4 different varieties of microgreens or my Weekly Micro Variety Pack:

- 1.6 oz Broccoli Clamshells

- 2.0 oz Sunflower Clamshells

You cannot get these in supermarkets!

- They have enhanced shelf-life (minimum 7 days)

- They’re grown sustainably with less water and no pesticides

Just leave a cooler out on your delivery day each week and we’ll take care of the rest!

Private message me here via this page if you're interested.

If you’ve read this far, chances are you’re about to message me to place your order and you’re excited to experience my “miracle microgreens”, however, if for whatever reason, you’re on the fence, here’s my promise to you:

Try my microgreens for 1 week and if you don’t feel more healthy, alive and full of energy - I’ll give you your money back!

That’s how confident I am that my microgreens can transform more than just your health!

With that said, think about this for a moment:

In your entire life, have you ever had a personal money-back guarantee for food?

I trust now that if you were on the fence, you’re now thinking:

“Well if you put it that way, I’ve got nothing to lose!”

Private message me via this page if you're interested.

I look forward hearing how my microgreens make you feel!
