Willowthorne

Willowthorne Our mission is to sustainably cultivate top-quality produce & foster community learning through regenerative agriculture.

We support local food systems, promote health, and reduce our carbon footprint. Offering event space, + photo and media services. The core of agricultural activity of Willowthorne is focused on organic blueberries, mushrooms, honey, chickens, garden produce, fruit trees and fish. Our chickens are fed organic feed supplemented with greens from our garden. Our blueberry bushes, vegetable gardens, f

ruit trees and are completely free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. 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 .

It’s almost that time… 💙

Spring is unfolding early again this year, and we’re adapting to the rhythm of the Earth.

It’s been a busy year behind the scenes, and we’ve been steadily plugging away here on the farm. The blueberry bushes are looking so happy—and they’re fruiting up beautifully!

We’re not quite ready for picking just yet, but it’s coming soon. Stay tuned for U-Pick season updates, and in the meantime, we hope you’re soaking up the sunshine and all the signs of summer ahead. 🌱🫐
