Sunset Community Farm is used by participants in the Growing Farmers Program to start their farm business by growing and selling fruits, vegetables, poultry and bees. Community CROPS oversees the entire farm, and grows some crops for our CSA (vegetable subscription program).
Everyone is welcome, whether you want to see a working sustainable vegetable farm, or are interested in having a plot of your own next year. Bring your friends. Kids are very welcome!
