This Is What
We Stand For
Community First
Before all else, our community comes first. Each person that lives on the island deserves to have their fresh produce needs and wishes met. We're here to make sure that happens with quality and consistency.
We Give Back
For every item sold, we donate a portion of the proceeds to organizations who work tirelessly every day to better our island. Leftover produce that isn't sold or repurposed, is given to the local food pantry.
Island Independence
We envision an island food system that is strong enough to sustain us year-round. By creating pathways for other local growers and entrepreneurs to succeed, we can eliminate dependence on agricultural imports.
Some of Our
Early Stage Photos
In our first year, we have been actively working behind the scenes developing a farm plan to get started. As the birds whistle their morning melodies to a sunrise that shines earlier and earlier, we are counting the days until Spring when cultivation can begin!
