A permaculture-inspired teaching farm that dances with nature in an urban environment. We use a holistic design approach to model natural systems and encourage diversity.

If people find a space beautiful, they will spend time in it. If people spend time in a beautiful space, they will fall in love with it. Once they have fallen in love with it, they will be inspired to care for it.

Our mission is to get people to fall in love with nature so they’re inspired and empowered to care more tenderly for it.

To foster that relationship, The Forage Farm interweaves food production, community building, and environmental restoration in a beautiful, gardenesque setting. Through a diversity of learning opportunities and experiences, visitors will come away with a deeper understanding of natural systems and their ability to influence them.

We aim to create a community-based, 10-acre sanctuary that provides bountiful food and habitat for humans and wildlife alike.
