Grassroots farm has been under cultivation for over 14 years, but its current incarnation as a co-operative farm is two years old. Linda Ward, the owner, has been joined by roughly 20 individuals from the area in reinventing the farm as a learning opportunity as well as working farm that brings together newer practices, fresh faces and the wisdom of old time horse farmers from the larger community. Laughter and rampant young children are frequent on this farm growing organically, under the affidavit allowance in the NOP Final Rule, on 3 acres of land surrounded by dense woodland.
