Heritage Farm and Compost Tour
Come for a behind-the-scenes tour of Snug Harbor Heritage Farm, a sustainable urban production farm feeding our neighbors. See our seeding, learn our crop plan, and how we nourish the soil while growing the best produce humanly possible. Then see where we turn food waste into precious community compost. Find out about community composting opportunities for your household, our Community Supported Agriculture program, observe different compost systems, and learn how we can turn this environmental threat into an important community resource!
