The Gardens

The tenant at Lupine Farm for the past 7 years ran a successful organic community supported agriculture program (CSA) using a fraction of the available land.  The horses are a new addition with the new tenant, Emily Mitchell, and there is an abundance of new life on the property.  The horses have not, however, prevented the garden from growing! 

In addition to running a riding program, Emily has teamed up with a local organic gardening class who have been using the gardens this year to provide organic vegetables to local food pantries.  Beyond continuing this partnership, Emily hopes to offer space to community gardeners next season and  also to team up with public schools to provide food-to-table learning experiences for local students. 

With the current economy making prices of fresh produce skyrocket and the overzealous use of harmful pesticides and growth agents a widespread practice, it is more important than ever to use the land available to us to grow locally and organically.  The gardens at Lupine Farm provide both that local and organic food we need as well as the ideal environment in which to learn about its importance.
