Gardenworks Farm: Past and Future
As the third generation on the farm, Meg and Rob’s goal has been to keep the farm a productive farm. They have been stewards of the 300 acres of contiguous farmland with managed woodlot in the Black Creek Valley.
Now Kelsey and Hunter are the 4th generation on the farm and have a passion for regenerating the land through the production of berries, vegetables and flowers grown with regenerative agriculture practices, small scale rotational grazing, and Tasting & Seeing together with the community the bountiful gifts the land provides.
As the 3rd & 4th generations combine their efforts and vision, Gardenworks will offer educational opportunities, bountiful crops, along with the farm marketplace which highlights greenhouse plants and local handcrafts & specialty foods. We will continue our Second Saturdays offering a Food for Life Class followed by a Community Plant Powered Potluck. New this year we look forward to offering date nights in the flower fields and engage in 3 of the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine with fitness classes in the fields. Finally, we welcome you to stay on the farm in-season at the farm’s Respite Cabin, and during winter, in our cozy and romantic En Suite.
As a farm family, our mission is to keep the farm and our community healthy with sustainable & regenerative practices. We enjoy sharing the open space and teaching the importance of a healthy lifestyle through demonstrations, u-pick berries, vegetables and flowers, along with workshops, classes and conversations.
