The 17 acres of farmland are located in the northern middle of Jamestown’s “Center Island Greenway” and the “Windmill Hill Historic District”.  These two districts total over 1,000 acres of contiguous permanently protected wetlands, forested habitat, recreational fields bike path, hiking paths and farmland.  Most importantly the Greenway contains the Town’s entire public drinking water reservoir watershed.  The farm is the largest unprotected parcel of land in Jamestown’s Center Island Greenway district.

From the onset our intent was: to grow fresh produce and distribute it to those less fortunate; to produce crops without the use of commercial fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, and to pursue a method of sustainable farming that systematically improves the nutrient value of the agricultural soil even as it produces crops. The Farm is committed to methods of farming that minimize the impact on the natural environment, including water and soil.

The farm depends on a volunteer force of people to plant, weed and harvest the vegetable production.
