We use hand tools and horsepower to connect to the rhythms of nature. It’s about slowing down and being more gentle with our land. It’s about being a bit more thoughtful about the way we farm.
The Heartwood story At Heartwood Farm, we farm to inspire change. We’re about healthy, local food. We’re about caring for our land and connecting people to the story of their food and sustainable farming. We like to nurture nature’s amazing connectivity through a bio-diverse ecosystem of vegetable gardens, pasture, livestock, maple sugar bush, working animals, naturalized lands, woodlots, wildlife and people. We offer eco-farm experiential learning and tours – and we invite adults and children to experience this wonderful diversity.
donate some of our produce to community organizations, and partner with them to develop urban community gardens that support access to affordable, healthy food for all. We invite you to collaborate with us (even in a small way) to make that “big picture” connection to issues that matter. It’s not just the fresh veggies you’ll enjoy all season— it’s also about climate change, food ethics, energy use and land stewardship.
Here’s our plan for the season (but of course Mother Nature will have her say, too) june

We’re all about building community, too. Sharing land and collaborating with trained young farmers helps them take the next step to establishing their own farms, and to bringing more food to local folks like you. We also offer our spare time and energy as active volunteers in the local food movement. We foster grassroots farmer-to-farmer networks,
