"Daring to be Different" A Legacy of LEARNING Many of the visitors that come to our farm comment how they have never seen or heard of anything quite like what we are doing. You see everyone thinks we must be a co-op, CSA or doing some kind of commerce at the farm and of course everyone wants to buy the lovely fruits and vegetables they see growing. Everything grown at the farm is either someone's personal raised bed or things that we grow in community for the benefit of our hard-working volunteer families. That singular thought is what sets us apart and dis nguishes us from other organic farms. We are simply a beau ful outdoor "school room" or "laboratory" for people to learn a life skill they will use the rest of their lives. As a qualified 501(c)3 nonprofit organiza on, our success is measured by the lives touched and the skills learned through our workshops, internships, field trips and special events for corporate and civic groups. Not surprisingly, our benefactors Abby Sayler and Victor Karydis of Abby's Health and Nutri on, have spent their en re careers educa ng the public about be er health and they know it starts with what we eat. Abby's Health Food store mo o is "Be er Health through Educa on", because they know a more informed and educated public will make healthier choices in what they consume. Unlike the big box grocers today (some pretending to be all about health), Abby's measures their success by stories of lives changed with their customers... everyday! The real-life stories I've heard in just four years from volunteers at the farm and store customers, have been truly amazing. Many long-term sicknesses and ailments of every ilk, have been successfully treated or healed by changes in diet and/or the addi on of vitamins and supplements their body needed. Again, unlike big box grocers, as your local, independent health food store what differen ates us from the pack is the people. The store surveys con nuously confirm that having friendly, knowledgeable staff to help you find the product(s) that you need is incredibly important to the discrimina ng consumer.
