Our Agricultural Goals & Practices

We believe that soil, plant, animal, environmental and human health are interconnected and that agriculture is the base of a healthy culture and civilization.

The Farm is a food center that supports:

• operating economically and environmentally sustainable agricultural enterprises
• integrating a working farm with educational programs and cultural activities
• building a sense of community around food - connecting people and schools with local farms
• networking among farm-based education organizations

Our practices include:

• grass-based farming and composting
• minimizing erosion and water pollution
• promoting livestock health through good nutrition and sanitation, and low-stress handling (Our dairy is Certified Humane.)
• enhancing wildlife habitat
• producing renewable energy
