Hunter and Kelsey as the fourth generation on the farm are honored to begin to join Meg and Rob, the third generation on the farm, in stewarding it well, and keeping it a community gathering place. While Meg and Rob continue their focus of Gardenworks at the intersection of Arts and Agriculture, a destination space of great beauty and charm, Hunter and Kelsey are beginning to add in aspects at the intersection of Health and Agriculture, a place of refuge for the restoration of land and health.
We hope you will join us as our dreams, vision, work and efforts continue to grow like many tiny seeds planted here over the generations.
The “Pick Your Own Healthcare” Fields continue into year four in which community members are invited to harvest cut flowers and vegetables along with the farm’s legacy blueberries and raspberries. The fields overflow with a large selection of gorgeous cut flowers including dhalias the jewel of August! A ‘dried flower’ row joined the fields in 2024, and in 2025 we look forward to creating a, herbal section for teas, salves and cooking. The vegetables include everything from cherry tomatoes to sweet potatoes, kale to watermelon and everything in between. In addition, “Second Saturdays” are offered where you’ll find Kelsey teaching a Food for Life class sharing about the incredible power of plants for our health featuring a cooking demonstration, samples and the latest evidenced based medical facts from peer reviewed published medical journals. The class is held from 3-5pm on a different food + health topic including blood sugar, digestive health, brain foods, heart health, cancer survival and prevention, etc. You are welcome to stay after or join at 5pm for a Community Plant Powered Potluck perfect for newbie and plant veterans alike to enjoy new recipes cooked by all. In September the third annual Family Farm Fitness event with the YMCA will be held in coordination with the Washington County Bounty Tour.
