Philosophy
At Dinner Bell Farm, our aim is to create a diverse farming system that focuses on soil health and regeneration. We grow thick stands of cover crop which are tilled into the spring soils. We pasture our animals across the farm, fully integrating the ecosystem services they offer (weed control, soil building, integrated pest management) into the production of our fruit, vegetable and flower crops. We are avid naturalists and spend time identifying and observing the wild animals, plants, insects and fungi that also call Dinner Bell Farm home. Farming with integrity within a wild system takes time, humility and flexibility and is a challenge we accept wholeheartedly.
A huge part of farming is the human hands, feet, backs, eyes and hearts that tend the animals and sow the crops. We are committed to a just and healthy work environment for all of those people who help and will help to sow, plant, weed, move, feed, harvest, arrange, and sell the bounty that eventually graces your dinner tables.
