It may be cold outside, but we are already gearing up for next year. Our major farm project is revamping the greenhouses to increase extended season production while reducing energy inputs.
Last years addition of the CSA program was a great success. We're planning for an expanded program serving areas around Bloomington and Indianapolis. Thanks to all our 2009 members who supported our CSA program focused on local organics and allows for our member families to be part of the farm. Together we further LIFE's mission of being sustainable "plus".
Sustainable plus? What is that? We believe in building a farm that works along the three pillars of sustainability: economics, environment and community. We must be economically viable in order to ensure that we can interact sustainably with our environment and community for the long run. "Plus" means that we do more than maintain good practices, we also work to heal what has been damaged - from the soil our plants grow in to the diversity of wildlife around the farm to the relationships between the farmer and community members that consume local food. We are very active with the local food movement and are proud founding members of Southern Indiana Local Growers Guild. You will find more about our farm and programs in the About Us section.
Please, take a tour around our web site... get a feel for our farm and our families. We hope that you will support us by becoming a member of our CSA, purchasing our food through a retailer or farmer's market or just putting out a good word - that you found this farm that is working to make a difference... |
