A Working Farm Setting

The market takes place on a real working farm, offering an authentic farm experience. The barn where the market is held is in full view of the farm’s calving areas. During one market in April 2024, a calf was born to a round of applause from the gathered shoppers.

Regenerative Agriculture

The farm is committed to regenerative agriculture – farming in harmony with the ecosystem. This holistic approach focuses on:

Locking carbon into the soil
Improving water retention
Boosting biodiversity
Creating more nutritious food

Community & Education

The market aims to bring people together around a shared love of food, with plans to add more educational elements, including demonstrations, walks, and talks focused on regenerative agriculture and sustainable production.
