Food Plot

Description

Plot = 20’Ft X 20’Ft = 400 SQ.FT.
Your Mini-Farm Will Start From Scratch and according to your host farm’s growing season and mini-farm type, i.e., bed prep, seeding/transplanting, growing period.

Harvests & CSA Delivery or other special type mini-farm processing will begin when any crop is harvestable.
Monthly Plot Report will show you pictures and/or video of your plot’s progress.

You will also be invited for quarterly picnic at your host farm and can volunteer weekly to oversee your plot and glean the healthful benefits of exercise and fresh county air!

We are not responsible for any delays or losses due to weather or other acts of nature or God. As your plot and your host farm ages, they will become more resilient and stored produce more abundant to offset losses and the non-growing seasons/phases.

Having your own mini-farm can be beneficial for several reasons:

Health Benefits: Fresh vegetables are a central part of a healthy diet. They are loaded with essential nutrients that promote better health, including antioxidants and vitamins. Studies show that children who eat garden grown produce are twice more likely to eat 5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables a day compared to those who rarely or never eat garden grown veggies.

Economic Benefits: Having your own mini-farm can save you hundreds of dollars on groceries. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, an average household spends about $550 per month on food, spending more on fresh produce compared to eggs, dairy, sugar, and other staples.

Environmental Benefits: Gardening is inherently eco-friendly, especially if vegetables are grown without using any type of chemical. Growing food organically means sparing the earth of water, soil, and air pollution.

Taste: Garden grown vegetables often taste better than those bought from a store. Many of the varieties of fruits and vegetables sold in grocery stores are adapted for commercial farming and often times finish ripening on trucks during shipping.

Physical Activity: One of the benefits of having your own mini-farm is that you can also visit weekly to help out on your plot and those of others and that it keeps you fit. Most people want to work out but not all of us are comfortable at the idea of lifting weights or enrolling in a fitness class at the local gym. This is your built-in exercise plan while caring after your own food.

Education: Having a mini-farm vegetable garden is also a great way to teach your children about the importance of utilizing whatever bounty the earth has provided to its fullest and avoiding waste.
