The Farm 

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

All neighbors share in the support of the farm through our monthly dues for expenses such as soil amendments, equipment maintenance, and invasives control.

​Historically, neighbor-led farming ventures include the following:​

• Chicken Club (for eggs)
• Pastured Meat Group (beef, lamb, chickens, and ducks)​
• Permaculture Club

In 2026, the Nubanusit Community has moved from a tenant farmer model operating a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) vegetable farm to the development of a neighbor-led vegetable growing venture.  

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

As the 2025 growing season ends,
Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm
extends its thanks to Nubi River Farm
for their five years of hard work and
commitment to the health of the soil, plants, and people.

Elsbeth Pendleton-Wheeler and Jasen Woodworth of Nubi River Farm operated their Certified Organic small diversified farm for five seasons here Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm. They have set the standard for neighbor farmers to follow in taking great care of the land with minimal tillage, growing organically, the use of crop and animal rotation, cover crops and having fun while working. Their contribution toward realizing our farm vision and mission at Nubi is immeasurable.
