February In The Garden
Sweet Farm was originally founded in 2016, beginning it's life as a farm animal sanctuary. But it became clear almost immediately that our food and climate systems are so deeply intertwined that it was impossible to tell just one part of the story. To really create change, we realized it was essential to include other important pieces of the puzzle, and by 2017, the Regenerative Agriculture program was born. For those of you who have visited the farm in person, you've seen our fields of flowers and veggies, grown in a way that gives back to the soil and the planet. Each month, we'll be sharing monthly updates with our supporters, near and far, on what we're growing, how we're growing it, and what you can do at your own homes to create positive change through gardening.

Help us give Elliot a new start!
Meet Elliot, our newest pig rescue!
Earlier in December, Sweet Farm was asked to step in and provide assistance in a case of extreme neglect. Elliot, a Yorkshire pig, once lived at a sanctuary. In what has become too common of a story, that sanctuary closed suddenly, leaving all the animals in emergency need of safe homes. While many of the animals found new sanctuary placement, Elliot was left behind at a private farm that was ill-equipped to care for farm pigs.

It’s All About The Biochar
Over the last three years, Sweet Farm and Bioforcetech have been conducting the first field trials of biochars from their new technology, helping to showcase biochar’s benefits in our veganically grown flowers and produce. Together, our work has helped increase the number of wastewater treatment plants using their technology, and created more sources for high quality biochars for local farmers.
