The Barn

  At the heart of Project Farmland, The Barn unfolds as a lively cornerstone, brimming year-round with the bounty of our small farms. Here, our resident farmers sell their produce and consumable artisan treats along with fresh eggs and the local honey. As a beacon of sustainable living, our resident farms will provide seeds, plant starts, and nourishing worm castings and compost tea for our local neighbors to cultivate their own sustainable gardens.

But The Barn will be more than just a marketplace; it will be a canvas for the community's diverse talents, displaying an array of handmade crafts such as  wood, leather, and delicate glass artistry. Every item will tell a story of care and craft showcasing the incredible talents of our resident farmers and extended community.

Nestled within the heart of our community, the Coffee Bar & Bakery at Project Farmland will welcome visitors with the warm aroma of locally roasted coffee and the enticing scent of freshly baked goods, all crafted from the finest farm-fresh ingredients. This idyllic spot,  with cozy picnic tables will encourage people to visit, both residents and visitors, to connect and share stories over delightful treats.

As seasons allow, our outdoor seating area will open offering views of our bustling small farms and activities around them. 

Summertime will bring its own magic to Project Farmland with Movies at the Farm events. Families will be invited to spread their picnic blankets under the stars, amidst the tranquil beauty of our community. It will be a perfect way to celebrate the joys of summer, creating unforgettable memories with loved ones at Project Farmland.

 Central to our vision is the integration of educational opportunities through a dedicated classroom space. In partnership with university extension programs, we will offer workshops and courses on vital subjects such as canning, food preservation, sustainable farming practices, and more. These sessions are designed to equip our community with the knowledge and skills needed for self-reliance and ecological stewardship.

To support these educational endeavors, The Barn will be equipped with state-of-the-art freeze dryers and aging chambers. These facilities will not only be used in our workshops but will also be available for residents to utilize, enhancing their ability to preserve and enhance the fruits of their labor.
