Hollyhill Hummingbird Farm

Hollyhill Hummingbird Farm has established itself as a beacon of education and sustainability, focusing on biodynamic farming practices. Known for its community outreach, the farm offers hands-on learning experiences that teach both children and adults about ethical food production and the importance of treating animals and the land with respect.

The farm employs biodynamic methods, emphasizing a closed-loop system where composted chicken manure nourishes the garden, and garden scraps feed the chickens. Chemical fertilizers are eschewed in favor of natural practices like composting and crop rotation. The farm's philosophy centers on an ethical and symbiotic relationship with life, striving to maintain a balance with the community while adhering to strict ethical standards.

Visitors can engage with the farm through guided tours, Farm to Picnics, and volunteering opportunities. Tours offer a hands-on experience with the farm's diverse produce and livestock, while Farm to Picnics provide a six-course meal sourced directly from the garden. Volunteers gain practical skills in food production, enjoy a communal lunch, and take home fresh produce. The farm operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, relying entirely on donations.
