What is Food For Thought all about?




Our garden project is an intimate and experimental experience with roots in
community, subsistence agriculture, education and activism.
Based on the CSA model, we offer an immersion into small scale and almost
entirely human powered food production.
Our central theme is to produce a wide variety of food during our short growing season
and then employ traditional methods of preservation to allow for a healthy and diverse
year-round diet comprised of local foods.

Hi Folks,

Despite the flurries in the air and the sugar snow on the ground, the outdoor gardening season is right around the corner. We began seeding plants indoors in early march and all are doing well. We have been hosting students on Saturdays and working on projects such as boiling sap, stacking firewood, doing seed inventories, cleaning tools etc..
By now most of you have responded to our offering for 2009. We appreciate your commitment to the project.
In the next week or so we will be digging spring parsnips and distributing them shortly thereafter. We have eggs available in the small fridge in the front outbuilding. You should feel comfortable in helping yourself.
We will regularly update the blog with all the news that's fit to print and probably some that's not. You can be the judge.
Please bear with us as we go forward with our dream to be part of a community farm. Managing personal lives while living and working in such a public way is just one of the many challenges community farms face. We appreciate everyones patience and understanding.
We are looking forward to this season for many reasons. We hope you are as well.
Please stay in touch, we sure will.
