Farm Family and Community
|
Our friends, families, and communities are vital to the life of our farm. Dozens of friends, interns and apprentices, farm workers, students, customers, and family members have contributed mightily to help our farm succeed - giving their time, labor, and love, pitching in to help care for animals, build greenhouses, harvest veggies, transplant seedlings, pull weeds, shovel manure, and build garden beds over the years.
Other farm residents include dairy goats, chickens, and our beloved dogs, Maisey and Shorty. |
Everyone has a right to fresh, local healthy food
"Food justice is everyone having enough to eat; healthy food for our children; food that doesn't contain harmful things that we don't know about; freedom to grow our own food; ability to buy food directly from farmers; fair wages for those who grow, cook and work with food." ~Urban & Environmental Policy Institute
