“The Community Farm program helps connect consumers directly to our farm and helps us meet one of our goals of producing quality basic foods for the local community. For a set annual price consumers become members and receive a box of fresh produce every week of the growing season and a generous share of winter storage vegetables as well. In 2005 there were 463 member families.

We have developed a close link with our local food bank, and through the combined effort from our labor and donations from the community we provide thousands of pounds of produce to those in need. Some of this food is distributed as memberships in our Community Farm for women and their children who are in the process of healing from abusive partner relationships.

In 1992 we began the Pumpkin Project to help foster a connection between the earth, agriculture and today’s youth. Students from a local elementary school learn to plant, transplant and harvest pumpkins.”
