We are continuing to work with nature to grow an abundance of diverse edibles and medicinals in a way that nourishes us, the land, and the wildlife we share it with. This includes using no-till and polyculture practices to grow annuals, focusing on perennials, and implementing food-forest gardens that mimic the natural ecosystems of our northern climate.

We are in the process of growing our small ruminant herd and implementing grazing and livestock keeping practices that benefit our animals, increase dairy and egg production, and most importantly nurture the land and local wildlife. These include rotational grazing, targeted grazing for invasive species, and holistic management practices.

Our whole project at the farm started with a desire to return trees to the once densely forested fields that make up most of our 16 acres. Each year, we plant and care for hundreds of native trees, shrubs, and perennials. While we generally do not engage in land management, we employ practices that improve biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. These include controlled burns, targeted grazing, and protecting and caring for native trees and bushes.

We are excited to pursue our first economic venture on the farm: cut flowers! Come summer 2025, we hope to offer U-pick cut flowers, arrangements, and bouquets. As with all our projects on the farm, we will use no-till, polyculture, and biodynamic practices to ensure cut flower production benefits the land and local wildlife.

We are in the process of restoring our 125 year old barn into a community space. We hope to create housing, a production kitchen, gathering spaces, and creative spaces all for community use in the massive and beautiful building that has housed livestock on the farm since 1900.
