Clean in Quarantine

As our country, and our world, continue to deal with COVID-19, our thoughts and prayers are with all of our customers, partners, and supporters of the Farm.

We continue to keep things extra clean at the Farm, using our commercial high heat sanitizer, and wiping down common surfaces.

REMINDER: The Farm is NOT open for drop-in shopping. Only customers picking up orders may enter the Farm, and only at assigned times.

Fridge Values

5 Fridges Farm strives to research and practice realistic local solutions to the issues in our current food system: access, waste, taste, environment, soil/range management, water use, and land conservation. We believe these sustainable options are best disseminated via community engagement, education, hard work, and plain old fun.

5 Fridges Functional Farm

Welcome to 5 Fridges Functional Farm's first video looking at the basics of standing and breathing before tackling the chores of the day with Amanda of 5 Fridges Farm.

5 Fridges Farm is more than just a cool place to visit goats, it’s also a research farm around sustainable practices in urban farming.

Traditional farming spends a lot of time, money, and energy wrestling nature (climate, soil quality, pests, etc) and figuring out how to make money. Natural systems, however, balance themselves with much greater efficiency. So with each year of listening more, and fighting less, with the plants and animals of the Farm, our efforts get more efficient and more sustainable.

It also turns out that when the human farmers don’t have the time, money, or energy for farm projects, they get creative, efficient, and sustainable. Here at 5 Fridges Farm, this has turned into a sort of 3BL (triple bottom line) evaluation for projects - the Farm projects must:

Provide and maintain healthy habitats and diets for animals and insects (social)
Promote and sustain the land they live on (environmental)
Be local and financially sustainable (financial)
