Stone Soup Farm is a new kind of place, it's a farm and grows food, but it's also a community, and a place of education about farming and the environment. It is located on the land of the New England Small Farm Institute, and in addition to growing food for market, has an agenda to provide a small farm demonstration and training center for people who wish to learn how to run a small farm.
The construction of Stone Soup was centered on the CSA because it actively involves the community more than any other form of sales. Community members are encouraged to make this farm their own. Come on by, have a picnic, pick your own berries, herbs, and flowers, bring the kids and let them play on the playground equipment. There's a grill out front so anyone can come have a BBQ. There are also plenty of farm animals running around, like chickens, geese, and maybe even a cow or pig, all free range and organically managed.
