We farm because we believe that this work can help build a better future for everyone.

We are engaged in seeing this farm in its fullest context, knowing that this land and community have been here long before us and will continue long after we are gone.  We practice production methods that prioritize the long-term health of our soil instead of extractive land use that degrades the living soil for short-term production.  We understand that our planet is undergoing a change in climate due to human activity that threatens all of our well-being.  We are engaged in reducing our farm’s carbon emissions and sequestering carbon in soil through our growing practices.  

Our ability to access land resources needed to start and run this farm as first generation, white farmers is intertwined with our position relative to historical and present-day systems of racism.  We actively work to improve at doing our part and supporting others to dismantle systems of racism so that we may live in a more safe, just, equitable, and thriving community for everyone.  

We understand that the land on which we grow food has been home for thousands of years to Indigenous Abenaki, who have persisted in spite of centuries of physical and cultural erasure.  We acknowledge the original inhabitants of this land and value the work of present-day Abenaki organizations.

We believe the future of food access, the agricultural landscape, the integrity of farm work as a reliable job to live on, and care for the earth demand our collective care and action. We collaborate with community partners, the farming community, service providers, and organizers to help build the future’s food system.

We are grateful for the community that has welcomed us here.  We hope to be a vibrant part of this community’s fabric through our engagement as farmers, land stewards, and community members.
