Farm Description:
We are a small homestead and farm 1 mile from Lake Michigan, and about equidistant between Chicago and Milwaukee, right in the middle of the village of Beach Park. Our mission is to bring clean, fresh, delicious food to our local community while using best practices of organic growing and permaculture design for sustainable and regenerative stewardship of our land. In addition to our annual market garden of veggies, flowers, and herbs, we have a young mixed orchard and multiple berry beds which will soon be yielding. check our website or Facebook page to find us at a local farmers market.
