What exactly is All One One All Farm?
The vision of the farm owners extends so much further than planting orchard trees, vegetable gardens and a flower garden. It is about the process of providing the best possible products while also:
- Educating others
- Offering workshops
- Providing Organic Produce for the community to purchase
- Supporting and Strengthening the local farming community
- Serving farm to table food that shows others that eating healthy is not bland or boring
This 501(c)(3) organization was created to put a focus and emphasis on how to grow an abundance of healthy food and how food plays a major role in our lives.
What makes this Goshen Farm so unique?
This 10+ acre farm is the ultimate organic farm experience and are a regenerative silvopature farm.
What does that actually mean? It means that they are using the most responsible farming techniques around. Planting trees, shrubs and other primarily wood perennials between orchard trees and bushes offers grazing sheep something to eat while also naturally fertilizing and cleaning the land. They also use rotational grazing within the process. Click here to learn more about this practice.
