About Us

Growing Together

The Cox family has farmed this land for decades, stewarding fields and forest "tucked away" along the Oyster River. What began as a homestead has grown into a vibrant community food hub.

"We aim to help grow and support community within a vibrant local food system by cultivating shared resources for viable farm and food enterprises, community gardens, food access and mutual aid programs, broad-ranging learning opportunities, and third space gatherings."

We envision a resilient and connected community space where everyone is empowered to access healthy food, where local farmers are supported and the land is nourished.
