Ecosystem Farm

The Robert Ware Straus Ecosystem Farm explores a possible future of farming through sustainable and organic practices that produce high quality crops with minimal environmental impact. It serves as an experiment in organic farming on soil that appears unsuitable because of poor drainage and low fertility, yet the farm overcomes those challenges. Through Community Supported Agriculture, local residents support the operation and receive a share of the harvest in return. The farm also offers a place to learn about cutting edge, ecologically friendly farming techniques and how food is produced.
