Building Community
One Seed at a Time
At Thorns and Nettles, we’re more than just growers; we’re nurturers of a brighter future. We’re a family-owned regenerative farm with a passion for building up the local farming community to cultivate not just nutrient-rich produce, but also build a resilient food system for our community.
Our core mission:
- To steward the land with ecological wisdom: We embrace regenerative practices that build healthy soils, sequester carbon, and nurture biodiversity. Through composting, cover cropping, and responsible water management, we strive to leave the land better than we found it.
- To grow abundance that nourishes bodies and souls: We cultivate a diverse array of nutrient-dense vegetables and herbs, free from harmful chemicals. We believe that food should be not just sustenance, but a source of joy and connection.
- To empower others to join the regenerative revolution: Our farming community is strongest when we all come together and share our resources and knowledge with each other. We believe in building each other up to create a network of growers to sustain and support us all.
- To build a self-reliant food system: We envision a future where our community thrives on locally grown, nutritious food. We support initiatives that create accessible food networks and prioritize food security for all.
By nurturing healthy soil, growing vibrant food, and fostering a collaborative spirit, we aim to build a more resilient future for our community, one seed at a time.
