Our Purpose

to provide ways to unite all generations around a community farm, celebrating Weston’s history and cultural roots of farming and the arts, by offering extensive educational programs, experiences and events related to agriculture, the arts, environment, sustainability, nutrition and spiritual well being.  LTF strives to preserve our critical environmental areas, open space, natural beauty and natural resources for the enjoyment of Weston’s residents and surrounding communities. Our goal is to create an organic sustainable farm as a model for the community which integrates the highest ethical and mindful principles and practices for a balanced and healthy environment, local food systems, energy consumption, and zero waste. Our primary objective/purpose is to create an organic sustainable farm with experiences for everyone that inspire and reinforce actions as it relates to our goal. Lachat Town Farm is a place where people come together regularly, form new relationships, have fun and learn...to enrich ourselves and each other, to be happy and healthy together!
