Our mission is to sustainably cultivate top-quality produce & foster community learning through regenerative agriculture. We support local food systems, promote health, and reduce our carbon footprint. Offering event space, + photo and media services.
The core of agricultural activity of Willowthorne is focused on mushrooms, honey, small farm animals such as chickens and ducks, garden produce, fruit and berry trees and fish. Our chickens and ducks are fed organic feed supplemented with greens from our garden and live cage free. Our gardens, fruit trees and berry bushes are completely free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
Our hospitality initiatives are currently focused on hosting private events, and can include events such as health and wellness retreats, group camping weekend getaways and small-scale gatherings. We also facilitate educational opportunities, with outreach to schools and corporate groups, with lectures and classes available for a rental fee.
Our concept of 'cultural ag' is to engage in sustainable farming practices while exploring food and drink as an art form, and cultivating relationships with artists, photographers, musicians and visitors in a spirit of sharing and collaboration. At Willowthorne, agriculturalists, chefs, mixologists and artists can experiment in their medium, collaborating with each other and with visitors, blurring the boundaries between master and guest; between food, drink and art.
Rooted in urban agriculture, we aim to provide a peaceful space for our guests to commune with nature, promote health, economic growth on a local and global level.
We continue to be grateful to all of our visitors who support our passion and mission to grow food sustainably while creating an environment for visitors to learn about food cultivation and communal living in nature.
Our farm's beautiful landscape provides a natural backdrop to offer services in photography covering engagement sessions, family and pup portraits and lifestyle portraits year-round. Please email Gosia at info@gosiaphotography.com to schedule a session or visit www.gosiaphotography.com
Projects underway include cultivated mushrooms, pop-up events, and education, work exchange and mentorship programs.
