The Sandown Farm
We operate a one-acre farm to support our community.
About the Sandown Farm
Started in summer 2025, The Sandown Farm is our newest initiative, in collaboration with Growing Young Farmers Society, to support our community programs, youth field trips, and to provide produce for school meal programs and food banks.
Unlike our incubator farm program for farmers operating their own farm businesses, the Sandown Farm is managed by the non-profit. Produce grown on the Sandown Farm is provided for school meals through Flourish! School Food Society and Backpack Buddies programs, to food banks, and direct to consumer through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), on-site market, the South Island Farm Hub, and the Good Food Box.
Training Young Farmers
An important component of the Sandown Farm is training new and young farmers. The farm is managed by young adults who gain leadership skills by coordinating volunteers, delivering field trips for the Growing Young Farmers program, conducting tours, and operating the farm on a daily basis.
