We often say our compost center is the heart of the farm. Why?

Explore the Farm - Our largest land unit isn't for growing food, we're building soil. Our flock of sheep, cows and chickens, with our guardian llama, manages the perennial pasture as they fertilize, eat pests, and disturb plant roots. oceanhourfarm.org/the-farm/#pe...

Check out our freshwater wetlands, a distinct ecosystem providing essential habitat for wildlife. Wetlands occupy space where we cannot grow food or graze animals, but they provide critical ecosystem services, including reducing flood and storm damage. oceanhourfarm.org/the-farm/#we...
