At Forgotten Fruits, we are committed to redefining agriculture through permaculture principles, fostering a harmonious coexistence with nature. Our mission is to cultivate a resilient and regenerative food system that honors forgotten fruits, promotes biodiversity, and nurtures the land. Through sustainable practices, education, and community engagement, we strive to inspire a profound connection between people and the Earth, ensuring a bountiful, diverse, and flourishing future for generations to come.
Our team at Forgotten Fruits is made up, mostly of our family, with diverse backgrounds, who are passionate about what we do. We work hard every day to ensure that the land, plants, and animals are cared for in an ethical and sustainable way. We're proud to be a part of the local farming community and we're always happy to share our knowledge and experience with others.
Our farm was founded in 1960 by our grandparents. It was initially farmed as a homestead, consistent with restorative practices. After they were no longer able to farm it themselves, they rented the land to conventional farmers for some time. We are now converting it back into a natural farm that uses restorative practices. The establishment of a large elderberry patch was our first goal. We then began to establish the rest of the farm, including elderberries, chestnuts, paw paws, persimmon, plums, honey berries, and more!
Our farm stand is stocked with a variety of fresh produce, including seasonal fruits and vegetables, herbs, and flowers. All of our produce is grown using sustainable farming practices, so you can feel good about the food you're eating and the impact it has on the environment.
