See a PDF of the preliminary agricultural layout plan here.

Our goal is to cultivate an economically vital and abundant agricultural settlement while protecting and preserving the surrounding wild landscape. Conservation of wetland habitats and native species is a top priority in our landscape design. Farm policy will require organic practices and prohibit use of toxic pesticides and herbicides.

Sustainable organic agriculture will enhance the quality of life for Neshobe Farm residents by providing locally grown fresh foods, cottage industry, employment, opportunities for community involvement and a decreasing dependence on imported goods. Neighborhood gardens will feature greenhouses and amenities for poultry and animals, providing jobs, education and recreation.

For the 2010 season, we will be offering CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares to the community.  We will also be opening our farm stand on May first.  We have added laying hens to our livestock mix, and are expecting the addition of several piglets in early to mid May.  We invite you to stop by and see the farm!

 

Goals and objectives for our agricultural focus

• Provide fresh quality local food for the Neshobe community and an opportunity for residents to participate in and appreciate the work of growing food sustainably.
• Provide factual information to the community about the importance of local agriculture that is efficient, profitable, and environmentally sound.
• Forge partnerships with participants in order to improve people’s understanding and control of their food system and to encourage future generations to understand, value, and become more intimately involved in agriculture.
