We currently have a 1/2 acre of land that is actively farmed, with the potential of another 40+. Blandford's Farm serves as educational and community space and is home to several programs.
Through the community garden plots, our Mixed Greens program, and leased land, we are growing a diverse variety of vegetables, herbs, and a few fruits. Chickens will be in portable coops that rotate around the garden border.
Over the next few years, we also hope to add honey bees, expand our perennial crops, experiment with growing mushrooms, and incorporate principles of permaculture to make our system more sustainable and diverse.
Our management practices work to improve the health of the soil, leading to healthier plants and nutrient- dense produce. We aim to limit our off farm inputs and never use synthetic chemicals. Kelsey Hakeem's produce from the leased farm area is available Fridays at the Fulton Street Farmers Market from 8 am to 2 pm.
