We are a Town-owned resource and gathering spot created and run by a grassroots team of individuals who want to bring wholesome events and farm education to  children and adults. From raising chickens, to vegetables to new puppies, to learning to cook, preserve, compost and recycle, this Farm has grown organically over the years. We rely on the support and the enthusiasm of the community to operate, and our volunteers come from all walks of life, from teen service groups to moms and dads to seniors and retirees, from local realtors and small entrepreneurs to large companies -- and everyone in between. We love beer gardens, family fun days, pizza nights, CSAs and almost any excuse to gather at the Farm! Check out our programs at wakemantownfarm.org "
