Blandford Nature Center Farm
This is our first year of operating as a CSA, therefore, we are only offering shares to Blandford Nature Center members. As we grow we will be able to offer shares to more people in the community.

Through the community garden plots and CSA, we are growing a diverse variety of over 40 types of vegetables, several herbs, and a few fruits. Chickens will be in portable coops that rotate around the farm eating pesky insects.

Over the next few years, we also hope to expand our honeybee production, expand our perennial crops, add more animals, experiment with growing mushrooms, and incorporate principles of permaculture to make our system more sustainable and diverse.

Although we are not certified organic, we use organic principals in every aspect of the farm. We believe organic practices improve the health of the soil, leading to healthier plants and nutrient-dense produce. We aim to limit our off farm inputs and become more sustainable each year.
