In 2026, our Education Farm will align food production with educational outcomes, community access, and long-term sustainability objectives. Food production at our farm is not an end in itself, but a tool for experiential learning, workforce development, and equitable access to healthy, locally grown food.
Instead of operating a CSA, we will produce farm-fresh food for use in our educational programs and for Farm Camp families, while partnering with local organizations to extend food access to the broader community. Two full-time Farm Educators, supported by seasonal staff, will work hand-in-hand with farm visitors to grow food through hands-on, education-based activities that connect agriculture, nutrition, and community well-being.
Our food production goals are designed to integrate learning, access, and sustainability:
Our overarching goal is to build a sustainable local food system that strengthens community access to fresh, healthy food while promoting environmental stewardship. By expanding Farm & School initiatives and partnering with hunger-relief organizations, we are intentionally using our land as both an educational resource and a source of nourishment—providing hands-on learning opportunities for all ages while growing food that supports community health and resilience.
We invite community members to support this work by purchasing farm-fresh food at our on-site or mobile Farmers Markets, with on-site markets operated by campers during summer camp weeks as part of their learning experience. Families attending camp may also contribute to our hunger-relief efforts during registration, directly supporting access to fresh, healthy food for individuals and families in need.

Through using sustainable food production practices that works in harmony with nature, we let nature create healthy ecosystem on our farmland. By encouraging biodiversity, there are many plants and animals living along side each other just as nature intended.
Regenerative agriculture promotes rich soil conditions, protect watersheds, and enhances the health of local wildlife. Through reducing disturbances and keeping the soil covered, we provide an environment for microbes to thrive. Healthy topsoil retains water, absorbs nutrients and stores carbon.
We use natural inputs made mostly from things grown on our farm to produce highly nutritious and hardy crops.
We plant a variety of heirloom seeds to help preserve time-tested seeds which tend to have superior taste and are more resistance to disease and insects
Healthy plants are more adaptable to extreme weather conditions.
