Founded in 2010, The Farm has been beloved place in the community for over a decade. We have grown and evolved over the years, but one thing has remained the same: our commitment to providing fresh produce to the community.
Our goal is to provide fresh, healthy produce to the local community while promoting sustainable gardening practices. We believe that by working together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for everyone.
Our garden features a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including heirloom tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, and kale. We also have gardens for pollinators and a composting system to promote sustainable gardening practices.
We have a dedicated group of volunteers that have been helping us over the years. We are always seeking people to join us for a workday or to come to our weekly get togethers and events.
Our Community Garden includes 29 beds which are each 4'x12' raised growing beds. The beds allow gardeners full sun from sunrise to sunset, in raised beds naturally warmed and protected, for growing produce organically for home consumption.
We have a wonderful community of gardeners, who swap seeds and plants and share their successes and failures with their neighboring gardeners.
Now in our fifteenth year, many of our returning gardeners have become experts at planning and tending their gardens, and choosing varieties well suited for our rich soil in the protected beds. Our gardeners have increased their production by carefully timing succession crops, bringing produce to their families well into October. Wind Hill is happy to offer compost, gardening tips, camaraderie to our community of gardeners.
Our gardeners are invited to join our weekly gatherings, held on Monday evenings: a time to sit and share with other gardeners and farm volunteers after they finish their garden or farm tasks.
We welcome people with farming and gardening interests to participate in our community gardens and program to protect and celebrate the Longo Open Space Area which is the home to us.
