About the Farm

Background

Michael and Leela Robinson founded Deep Spring Farm in 2014 with a vision to create a farm patterned after nature, emphasizing freshwater ecosystem restoration and permaculture design. The farm collaborates with regional producers, vendors, and consumers to support a local sustainable food movement. Over the years, it has become known for its community-focused events, organic produce, and commitment to environmental stewardship.

Practices

The farm employs permaculture design elements and focuses on freshwater ecosystem restoration. Organic farming methods are used to produce seasonal vegetables, blueberries, and flowers. The farm follows a 'leave no trace' philosophy, encouraging visitors to pack in and pack out their supplies. Volunteers participate in hands-on activities such as weeding and mulching, contributing to the farm's sustainability efforts.

The Rest

Deep Spring Farm offers a variety of activities including garden tours, forest bathing, hiking, water recreation, yoga, and more. Custom retreats and mindful body classes such as yoga and massage are available. The farm hosts community gatherings featuring live music and craft food, and offers experiential workshops on sustainable living and organic gardening. Visitors can book online for various activities, including U-pick blueberries and photo shoots. The farm emphasizes low-impact practices to protect the sensitive ecosystem.
