We support local food systems, promote health, and reduce our carbon footprint. Offering event space, + photo and media services.

Our chickens are fed organic feed supplemented with greens from our garden. Our blueberry bushes, vegetable gardens, f

Our mission is to cultivate top-quality organic produce sustainably, fostering community learning and well-being through regenerative urban agriculture. As stewards of the land, we aim to bridge connections that support local food systems, promote health, economic growth, and creativity, while reducing our carbon footprint. Through education, we encourage good stewardship, homesteading skills, and a love of fresh ingredients. We envision a thriving agrarian cultural space where sustainable and regenerative farming practices restore land and lives. By integrating urban farming, education, arts, and hospitality, we create elegant spaces for community connection and learning. Our concept of 'cultural ag' is to engage in sustainable farming practices while exploring food and drink as an art form, and cultivating relationships with artists, photographers, musicians and visitors in a spirit of sharing and collaboration. At Willowthorne, agriculturalists, chefs, and artists can experiment in their medium, collaborating with each other and with visitors, blurring the boundaries between master and guest; between food, drink and art. Our hospitality initiatives are currently focused on hosting private events, including health, wellness, meditation and yoga classes, group camping retreats and intimate gatherings. We also facilitate educational opportunities, with outreach to schools and corporate groups, with lectures and classes available for a rental fee. Our farm offers a beautiful landscape for photo sessions and commercial video production shoots. We offer video and photo services including commercial and brand marketing lifestyle portraits, family/maternity/engagement/dog portraits, and .

🫐 Our upick Blueberry Season is winding down.🫐

This Wednesday will be our final regularly scheduled U-Pick day of the season, so come on down for a quiet day at the farm!

🥖 We’re excited to have Viola’s Sourdough, who will be offering her incredibly delicious sourdough bagels, baked treats and shmears😋😋

Be sure to stop by our Bee’s Knees Farm Shop to stock up on your favorite sweet and savory farm goods, including our Blueberry Blossom Honey from the Willowthorne bees, fresh eggs, heirloom garlic, handcrafted seasonings, blueberry jams and blueberry sugars!

There are still some beautiful blueberries on the bushes, and more are continuing to ripen. However, there simply aren’t enough ripe berries at one time to continue our regular U-Pick hours.

After Wednesday July 22nd, we are happy to welcome visitors by appointment if you would like to come pick blueberries. Just send us a message or give us a call so we can arrange a time based on berry availability.

Seeing the bushes this full is incredibly rewarding. This season's harvest is the result of year-round work on the farm—from winter pruning and nurturing the soil to caring for pollinators and tending the bushes through every season.
