About the Farm
Background
Located in Elkhart, IN, this community-based farm has established itself as a hub for both agriculture and community activities. Known for its dedication to organic practices and heirloom varieties, the farm has become a local staple, offering produce through a CSA and the Purple Porch coop in South Bend.
Practices
The farm employs organic practices to grow its vegetables, emphasizing heirloom varieties. It also maintains a pollinator sanctuary, which supports the production of honey and flowers. These practices not only ensure the health of the produce but also contribute to the overall ecosystem.
The Rest
In addition to farming, the space serves as a community center, hosting art events, yoga classes, concerts, and other gatherings. It provides opportunities for community members to engage with sustainable agriculture through volunteer work and educational programs.
