FAIRHAVEN FARM
"Our mission is to gather, nourish and inspire our community by producing good food, grown right. We are motivated by our shared vision of thriving local communities centered around thriving farms. We are a values-driven farm using organic, regenerative and holistic management practices to grow and produce the best food. Through our work, we hope to engage, connect, and empower other farmers, farm supporters, and a community of eaters to join us in creating the food system of the future."
Fairhaven Farm sells starter plants in the beginning of the season and grows other produce to sell to community markets. They have been incorporating some innovative technology that includes compost tea distribution through drip tape and also are growing mushrooms in collaboration with other farms. John & Emily also offer Friday pizza dinners until the end of August and an 8 month immersion course designed to help you tune into nature's cycles while learning relevant skills that will help you deepening your connection to the land and community.
