Summary of Projects

Pearsons Town Farm received a grant in 2010 to build handicap accessible raised beds, install new fence for and tilling of the food pantry garden and lay out the new drip hose watering system. Pearson's Town Farm goals are to provide more food for the local food pantry, offer unique educational opportunities for the elderly, disabled and economically disadvantaged to come and learn creative new ways to produce their own food, and further our effort to become a more biodynamic farm.
