Ladybird Farm

Located in Crozet, VA, Ladybird Farm has established itself as a cornerstone of environmentally responsible agriculture. Known for its commitment to the community, the farm has partnered with Wildrock to create a farm-centric, educational environment. Through workshops, demonstrations, and garden tours, they aim to impart knowledge and inspire others to engage in food production.

Ladybird Farm follows regenerative practices, relying on compost, organic soil amendments, cover crops, crop rotation, and beneficial insects to produce high-quality vegetables. By developing habitat and promoting beneficial insects, they achieve a pest/predator balance in the garden. The farm also focuses on creating healthy soil with a diverse microbial community through minimal soil disturbance, rich compost, and strategic crop rotation.

The farm's long-term goals include developing workshops and educational opportunities for the community, building a flock of pastured laying hens, and expanding their selection of small fruit. They strive to have a positive impact on local consumers, encouraging healthy, vibrant, and creative lives.
