Who we are
We are currently a small boutique backyard grower who is committed to providing the community with fresh, nutrient dense produce, cut flowers, & plants that have been grown in a chemical-free, environmentally responsible manner.
What we do
We cultivate a love of gardening & ensure that the community has access to nutritious, sustainably grown produce & plants. We employ regenerative agriculture techniques that aim to revitalize the land and our community.
Why we do it
We are deeply committed to the idea of promoting horticultural beauty while simultaneously reviving local food economies. To us, the most critical step toward resolving the environmental & produce quality issues of our day is to alter our current food production and distribution practices.
That is why we put such a heavy emphasis on regenerative agricultural techniques, & advocate for horticultural influence to be integrated throughout our community. Local food supports local economies, & we highly value that relationship.
Where We Are Located
We are located in the suburbs of Rockville, Maryland (USDA Zone 7B). We steward approximately 1500 SF of raised bed space, utilizing an agricultural practice called “intercropping (possible link to intercropping educational resource) to increase crop productivity & land use efficiency.
Future plans
We have visions of creating an agritourism destination that provides an opportunity for the public to admire & expand their horticultural horizons, while purchasing local, nutrient dense produce & plants. Our goals with branching into agritourism are to provide the community with an accessible location to promote the following:
Benefits of buying local food & respect for the food system.
Reduced Packaging & Reduced Food Mileage
Educational Horticulture/Agricultural Resources
This includes an agricultural resource library filled w/ books, resources, etc.
Training Seminar/Workshops, etc.
Youth Programs / Kids Corner (Reprieve for busy 9-5 parents)
This includes the following experiences:
Sensory Garden
Children’s Outdoor Education Facility (Landscapes for Learning)
Seasonal Events promoting local food & the slow flower movement.
Craft Cidery/Perry Production (Longshot Goal)
Indian Runner Duck + Dutch Hookbill Husbandry (Longshot Goal)
