Community-Oriented
We created this farm to help bring our family together, and we have loved seeing the land bring our neighbors and community together as well. Our community page will help to tell the area’s story to reflect its rich history, its unique small businesses, and its dynamic individuals. Food, we believe, is a perfect way for people to gather together and tell their stories.
