At The Laurels Farm, we are addressing a challenge farmers are all too familiar with: it is expensive and increasingly difficult for small farmers to bring food to market. As a nonprofit, we help absorb and reduce the cost, creating practical, affordable pathways for local farmers to sell what they grow and make and helping keep small farms viable.

At the same time, education is central to our mission. Through hands-on classes and real-world experiences, we teach people how to grow their own food and understand the systems behind it. By sharing these skills, we reduce dependence on expensive, highly processed products and help build a more resilient, self-reliant community food system.
