GROWING OPPORTUNITIES! Project Farmland is built around a practical question: how can small farms remain economically viable while staying true to their values? This pilot model is designed to support diversified, small-scale income opportunities that will strengthen households and the broader local food system.

At Project Farmland, we believe small farms can do big things.
This section explores just a few of the flexible, small-scale ways residents can turn their land, skills,
and interests into meaningful, purpose-driven income while staying rooted in values-aligned farming.
Residents can offer their seasonal harvests directly to the Valley communites through The Barn marketplace, CSA subscriptions, or U-pick events. Whether growing fruits, vegetables, herbs, or microgreens, these farmstead harvests strengthen local food connections while contributing to household income.
Residents may raise chickens, ducks, or bees and offer fresh eggs, honey, and other small-batch farm goods. These simple, time-honored products can be shared directly with neighbors through The Barn marketplace or offered at community events—creating a meaningful connection between everyday farm life and local demand.
Residents may use farm-grown ingredients to create shelf-stable goods such as jams, spice blends, pickles, teas, soaps, and dried herbs. The vision includes shared facilities like a community kitchen and freeze-drying spaces, allowing residents to minimize waste and ensure more of each harvest is used, preserved, and valued.
Residents can share the beauty and abundance of their garden by offering healthy, non-GMO plant starts, heirloom seeds, and soil-building products like worm castings, compost teas, and biochar. These offerings support local gardeners, schools, and growing spaces—extending the impact of each farmstead beyond its own fence line.
Many residents express their creativity through handcrafted work—woodworking, sewn goods, pottery, leatherwork, and botanical wellness products. The Barn is envisioned as a place where these handmade items can be shared through retail space and seasonal markets, connecting makers directly with the community.
Residents may choose to package their knowledge or creations for online audiences through homesteading classes, virtual farm tours, or small-batch product sales. The vision includes digital tools and outreach that help extend the reach for our farm residents—connecting skills, stories, and goods with a wider consumer base.
