NOTE: The hot weather is causing our lady chickens to lay a little less, so we cannot accommodate any new egg shares. We hope to have more eggs when the weather cools down.

No drop-in sales. All Farm products must be pre-ordered online and picked up at the designated time.

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 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)
