Sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Caldwell as a community garden and ecological learning center, Genesis Farm focuses on the connections between the health and sustainability of the Earth itself and the health of human communities. There are over 12 acres devoted to the garden which is supported by 190 families who purchase a 'share'. Genesis Farms offers a year round educational program that includes a 12 week accredited graduate certified program, extensive natural and wholesome cooking classes, weekend seminars, and children's programs. In England, I found several management models and from this the farm was born. The farm is a Community Supported Agriculture Garden with over 12 acres in organic products.
Visitors are welcome.
Louise and Cyrus Hyde began this farm over 20 years ago. Visitors to the farm are free to wander and self-guided tours begin at the house. It's an easy tour because everything is well-marked. There are herbs to cook with, herbs for medicinal purposes, herbs for the shear smell of them, in fact there is an herb for almost everything. For herbs lovers, this is one-stop shopping center and there is lots to purchase including, herbs, seeds, books, standards from an attractive gift shop.
