Description

This garden is located on the Vibrant Farms Organic Beef family farm approximately 20 minutes from the edge of KW, 10 mins north of Baden and 5 mins south of Wellesley. Mulch (straw or wood chips) and manure are available for purchase on site. The soil is a clay loam soil with lots of organic matter added, easy for planting and good soil fertility. The farm has been certified organic since 1986, so we ask that any member respect that and use only organic, ecological gardening practices (NO pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers on site). There are lots of perennials and trees around the edge of the garden which you are more than welcome to tend to, just be sure to discuss and organize with other members as some may already be in prudent care by other members. Two beautiful willow trees provide a cool place to take a break in the center of the garden.  There is a small fire pit and work shed with lots of tools available to share. You are welcome to bring your own tools, we just ask that you label them. Plots are not tilled (unless otherwise arranged with farmer) and ready for planting usually middle of May once the land dries up. However if you’d like to you’re welcome to come out earlier and get a head start. If you do not plan to use the plot again the following year we ask that you completely empty your plot of any garbage and or plant trash by the end of October, beginning of November so we can make it available for another member.
