This is not your ordinary farm
It is a landscape with untapped potential.
The farm's location is a spectacular site. Accompanied by a year round stream and a magnificent canopy of birch, oak, and walnut trees, it provides a totally new and unique opportunity for farming practices. Forest farming will be explored deeper this year to hopefully provide new and exciting produce we can share with the community.
Riley's School of Plants was inspired by many farmers that have laid down the blueprint to create a sustainable and regenerative landscape. Farmers like Elliot Coleman, who is internationally recognized for his organic market farm in Maine, Jim Kovaleski, an internet sensation for his unorthodox methods of urban farming, and many more. The common ideals between these farmers is to provide resilience and bountiful biodiversity to the environment. What sets us apart from traditional growers, is our pursuit of true nutritious produce. No sprays, pesticides or herbicides. No outside influence other than the plants themselves and the intimate methods to achieve the best quality produce and soil possible.
Our Mission: To develop a thriving landscape that connects us back with nature and provides our community with healthy produce. We strive to continue learning and adopting new techniques to further the revitalization of the land. To provide a foundation for our community to learn from and enjoy the experience of a living ecosystem.
We are fortunate to have great organizations and farms that share the same ideals. Pleasant View Farms has been a wonderful partner in feed and incredible local raised beef that we are able to supply at our farm store. The Conservation Districts have been so helpful with soil testing, community engagements, and plant giveaways to help us inegrate more species into the land faster.
