Oasis Farm
Sustainable Development in our local community including demonstration and training at Oasis farm.
Why Oasis Farm Exists
Oasis farm exists as a place to bring people together to learn and grow from one another. The farm demonstrates various farming techniques and serves as a hands-on classroom for locals and visitors alike. Here we hope visitors will be stimulated and educated by various forms of farming such as aquaponics (growing fish and vegetables together), fish farming, permaculture, root crops, garden vegetables, bees, chickens and fruit trees.
Oasis Farm seeks to be a teaching tool as well as a gathering place for all those interested to instruct, experiment, learn, observe, or satisfy their curiosity about as many farming opportunities as we can squeeze onto our 14 acres. It’s our hope that Oasis farm would be a place of refreshment, idea-building and networking as our guests tour the landscaped property, eat fresh fruit off the trees, and learn something from their visit. We hope that those who visit us will leave with solutions to their farming questions, motivation, new ideas and new friendships and partnerships.
