Being open to the Public a few days a month, allows you to visit & see how life really is on a small Farm! There are weeds and projects everywhere, always lots of work to be done. We are constantly starting seeds, planting, harvesting…and then there is the animal care. We sell potted: Herbs, Raspberry plants, Elderberry plants, Edible Flowers, Pollinator Plants, some natives…you never know what you will find at The Farm! We hope to share the knowledge & joy of small farming with YOU! YOU can do it too! We welcome Volunteers who want to learn & help!
