THE LIVING FARM con't
“Our agri-tourism programs are a part of my family farm’s mission to help others enjoy a slower more sustainable way of life, everyone should have the chance to understand where good food comes from!” Lynn Gillespie owner of the Living Farm shared about their interactive tour program.
The self-guided interactive tour takes the “parade route” through the heart of the Living Farm. During the tour meet and greet with the farm animals and take the time to explore their growing methods. The greenhouses and gardens are always flourishing during tour season and are wonderful to explore. The chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, cows, goats and sheep are all available to be held and petted in the tour in the petting zoo experience.
The tour explores behind the scenes of a sustainable farm “eco-system”. The farm is known for its unique growing systems that boosts productivity of the gardens and nutrient density of the produce all year round. Their online gardening course can be seen in person by visiting their patented Abundance Garden demonstration gardens. This unique growing system modeled after the farm has been found to outperform the average US garden by 10x, producing a whopping 5 pounds per one square foot of garden.
This innovative agri-tourism experience has its grand opening May 6th, 2016 and continues through October 30th. Tickets are $6 per person and children 3 and under are completely free. The new farm store also allows visitors to continue their agri-tourism experience by bringing home a piece of the farm. Visitors choose between a wide variety of local farm products such as gardening education, sheep wool stuffed pillows and so much more. The Living Farm also offers guided farm tours to large groups, which can be booked at thelivingfarm.org. Once you are finished touring and shopping at the farm store, head over to their farm to table café to enjoy fresh food that is produced by the farm. thelivingfarmcafe.com
