-You Can Make a Difference-

Stone Coop Farm's mission has always been to grow incredible organic produce and to share our knowledge with our community and other farmers. In 2018 we changed Stone Coop Farm to a non-profit working farm and learning center.
Do you believe in what we are doing here at Stone Coop Farm? Farms are often portrayed as idyllic - living off the land, producing your own food, being your own boss. All of that is true. It is also an incredible journey of learning the land, dealing with weather, and taking lots of risks. "For 1.5 million farm households, less than 25 percent of household income came from the farm. In 2012, 61 percent worked off farm at least some days, and 40 percent worked off farm for 200 or more days." (USDA 2012 Farm Census) In order to survive, farms and farmers must be creative in how they make ends meet. Stone Coop Farm's primary mission is to train farmers how to be audacious business owners so they can support their farms and their families as full time farmers.
