Uncover Our Farm’s Essence
Sustainable Farming, Community Spirit, And Organic Delights In Chepachet, Rhode Island
About The Farm
Welcome to The Farm, LLC – where our passion for sustainable, organic farming meets the heart of Chepachet, Rhode Island. Nestled on a quiet lot off of Tourtellot Hill Rd, we, Will and Sammie, along with our dedicated team, have been growing certified organic produce on ¾ of an acre. We use no-till practices that heal the soil and foster diversity in our ecosystem.
Our journey began as humble home gardeners, flourishing into a 120-member CSA, an on-farm store, and a community hub offering workshops, tours, and more. We’re more than just a farm; we’re a testament to the power of local food systems and the resilience they bring, especially highlighted during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gratitude And Commitment
Our philosophy is simple yet profound – to provide nutrient-dense, high-quality organic produce to our community while educating and inspiring sustainable living. We take immense pride in our organic certification, viewing it as a starting point in our quest to exceed standards in environmentally friendly farming. As our farm and the number of seasons “under our belts” grow, so does our community, which grows our gratitude. Without you, we wouldn’t be making our dreams come true.
With every fiber of our beings: Thank you.
Meet Our Team
The original green thumb of The Farm, leading our crop plans with a knack for finding the best varieties that suit our Rhode Island climate, and whispering to them (and the bees) on the reg. Whether it’s delivering fresh produce to local restaurants or exploring new places in the off-season, Sammie embodies the spirit of growth and exploration in everything she does.
A pharmacist turned farmer, Will’s journey reflects a deep commitment to preventative healthcare through quality food. He brings a scientific approach to farming, constantly innovating systems for better efficiency and productivity. His philosophy? Real food is the best medicine. A natural engineer, Will loves figuring out the best ways to do things so that we are running as smoothly as possible. A close second is jamming out to 90’s alternative rock and slinging slabs!
Our resident baker and insect identification expert. This powerhouse-PhD- rockstar mom combines her love for chemistry with the art of baking, creating delicious treats that are as delicious as they are wholesome. As they say, it’s part art and part science! Her passion and curiosity for learning shines through in her involvement with The Farm and the local community.
Thanks for joining us on this incredible journey of sustainable farming, community building, and celebrating local, organic produce!
