Our full-sun, naturally-warmed raised beds are 4’x12′ and must be maintained organically.   

GARDEN RESTORATION PROGRAM AND DIVERSITY GARDENS 2023.  We are pleased to be the recipient this year of an $11,000 grant for community gardens restoration and an inclusivity gardens program from the Sestero Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.  We are excited to be using this grant money to bring diversity in farming to Wind Hill by dedicating some of the raised beds to growing and using ethnic specialties.

Wind Hill welcomes people with farming and gardening interests to participate in our community gardens and programming and to protect and celebrate the Longo Open Space Area which is the home of Wind Hill Community Farm.

Thank you to the Sestero Family and to our farming community for their ongoing support.
