Checking In

To our dear supporters of 5 Fridges Farm: Rest assured, we are doing our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19. While we always work to keep things clean and sanitized at the Farm, we are taking extra precautions to ensure the safeness of the goodies we supply.

Stay healthy everyone! We will get through this!

A Few Changes...

New Thursday delivery option: your goodies can be delivered to you on Thursday mornings.
Daily extra dose of sanitizer on common surfaces.
Spray/wipes available to clean whatever you touch when you come to the Farm to pick up goodies.
Not accepting any used egg cartons.
No tours or visits to the animals.

Staying the Same...

All dishes, containers, and equipment used in the processing of our Farm products are cleaned with a commercial high heat sanitizer.
Pre-ordered goodies can be picked up from the Farm during designated times only.
The Farm is private property and is NOT open for drop-in shopping. Only customers picking up orders may enter the Farm, and only at assigned times.

New Delivery Option!

We are doing our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and will deliver your Farm goodies to you. Deliveries will be made on Thursday mornings within a 5-mile radius of the Farm. You must provide a cooler for us to put your goodies into (no human-to-human contact) and give clear directions of where to find the cooler. Cost is $5 per delivery. Customers receiving goodies more than once per month can combine orders into 1 delivery.

Goodies can still be picked up at the Farm. There will be no contact with other humans, and spray/paper towels are available to wipe down what you touch. Common surfaces are sanitized daily.

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.

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 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)
