About

Fields full of flowers in bloom, fresh produce at the peak of ripeness, families enjoying the outdoors, and neighbors being neighborly.

That’s the goal, anyway… At Hungry Work Farm, we’re creating a space to share with folks who appreciate a down-to-earth and not-so-commercial vibe, where you can feel more like a neighbor and less like a customer. We’re growing the fun and funky items not found in the grocery store, and we’re doubling down on the items we want to fill our pantry with, like green beans for pickling and basil for pesto.

Check out the Neighborhood Farm Share for more information, or inquire about wholesale sourcing via email to devin@hungrywork.org. We’ll sell to anyone who appreciates local goods, including fellow farms, restaurants, retail grocers, DIY wedding planners, and more.

How We Farm

We believe in remaining human-powered, or as close to it as we can get, reducing our reliance on machines that break, engines that guzzle fuel and spit out exhaust. We grow according to USDA NOP Organic Standards and are in the process of transitioning to become Certified Organic. We hardly apply any inputs or treatments to our crops - at most, we’ll use liquid compost tea, fish emulsion, and (very rarely) some insecticidal soap if things get real bad.

We’re planting trees and perennial crops with a fervor to maximize the property’s diversity and production potential with lots of native plants, lots of interplanting, and lots of habitat for pollinators and other local critters. We’re feeding the soil and giving our farm animals a happy life.

The farm is not the day job, so farm decisions are not driven by economics but instead by ecological priorities, with free time being the main resource concern. We farm in the early mornings, evenings, weekends, and any time we can find in-between. If you see us in the field, feel free to stop in!
