The farm

The farm at Nubanusit comprises a five acre area with gardens and three hoop houses, as well as pasture land. The Farm Team handles the land use agreements with the ventures that occupy it.

​Currently, ventures in which community residents may participate include the following:​
  • Chicken Club (for eggs)
  • Pastured Meat Group (beef, lamb, chickens, and ducks)​
  • Permaculture Club
Vision
Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm has a reciprocal and complementary relationship: neighbors nurture the farm and the farm offers the neighborhood food, beauty, and connection to each other and the land.

Mission
Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm (NN&F) will continue incremental development of the farm by:
  • Implementing organic and sustainable practices to improve our land
  • Allowing the interests & skills of neighbors to guide its development
  • Promoting individual and community well-being with our work and play​
  • Offering a healthy diet and lifestyle
  • Providing opportunities to recast conventional food production/distribution to adapt to our community life
  • Providing opportunities for neighbors and others who work with us to learn about farming
  • Reaching out to the larger community with food donations and learning opportunities
​
Tenant farmer
Nubanusit leases our farmland and supports the operation of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) vegetable farm. Many neighbors purchase shares in the CSA and enjoy weekly harvests from spring through fall. All neighbors share in the support of the farm through our monthly dues for expenses such as soil amendments, equipment maintenance, and invasives control. 
THE 2021 CSA Sign-Ups COMING SOON

​At Nubanusit we are committed to organic, sustainable practices, with five acres of productive fields and three hoophouses.  Operation of the Farm for 2021 is currently in transition.  Please check back here soon for updates on the CSA options.
