Gratitude. As the year closes, we want to thank all of you who have supported the farm this past year! We have completed our transition to a Non-profit and are excited to move forward this year with our mission of providing plants and education to our North Florida community and our commitment to employing a marginalized population as part of our staff.
FARM MANAGER
On a sad note, our farm manager Amanda Van Der Eems is leaving us to be full time caregiver for her father. We offer a heartfelt Thank You to Amanda for her service as farm manager.
