The Talking Farm

Greenwise partners with The Talking Farm, a local urban farm that grows produce for local restaurants and farmer's markets while educating the community about the importance of growing food sustainably. The Talking Farm produces over twenty one thousand pounds of sustainably grown produce for the community every year.

What Is The Talking Farm

The Talking Farm runs a local urban farm called the Howard Street Farm, where they grow produce for local restaurants and farmer's markets. In addition to growing food, they educate the community about the importance of growing food sustainably and the connections between sustainable agriculture and community health.

The Talking Farm demonstrates how urban agriculture can contribute to local food systems while providing educational opportunities for community members interested in sustainable growing practices.

Shared Values Around Sustainability

Greenwise and The Talking Farm both care about how we treat the environment. That is why we try to engage with our land in the most sustainable way possible, whether it is on the farm or in your yard.

We value education. Because of that, we work hard to educate our community about how we can all be more sustainable in our gardening practices. Whether you have got a vegetable or flower garden, how you take care of it matters. Being sustainable includes choosing the best plants and choosing organics to help those plants grow and flourish, which in turn helps create biodiversity, and keeps us safe from pesticides and other dangerous chemicals.

How Greenwise Supports The Talking Farm

Over the years, Greenwise has donated the use of our equipment, including tillers, pickup trucks, dump trucks, and a bobcat. We also drop off leaves in the fall and spread them on their fields to provide mulch for their crops. We are very grateful for the opportunity to support The Talking Farm's important work.

Greenwise is proud to be one of The Talking Farm's corporate sponsors and we look forward to working closely with The Talking Farm to grow our community's knowledge about, and investment in, sustainable growing practices.
