Community
We believe that farming involves more than growing food.
We're active members of our local community, working with other individuals, organizations and institutions to support those in need and to make our collective future more compassionate and resilient. From supporting local food banks to growing food for local school districts to using our platform as food growers to educate others, we believe that collaboration builds stronger communities.
Improving Food Access
We proudly donate produce to those in need and we have an on-going partnership with local school districts and their food service professionals to provide school-aged children with fresh, local produce. Everyone deserves to eat healthy beautiful food! These organizations include:
New London Public Schools
Groton Public Schools
Waterford Public Schools
Montville Public Schools
Connecticut College
Agricultural, Food & Environmental outreach
Education and outreach is a cornerstone of being a good, responsible farmer. We regularly work with schools and organizations to help with food and garden projects. Currently, we work closely with our neighbor, the Waterford Country School, to grow and support its farm initiatives. We have also been fortunate to sit on panel discussions and participate in workshops and seminars on topics related to food, farming and the environment.
Market Share CSA program for Families in need
We recognize that being a member of a CSA may not be the most economically feasible option for all families. But, each year, we accept donations to support the purchase of fresh produce for local, food insecure families in need. In the past, we have worked to make our food accessible to single mothers and caregivers as well as to local military families. Our members have an opportunity to make a contribution to the Family In Need Fund, and, we gladly accept contributions from non-members to go toward this important effort. All people deserve to eat well!
