Agricultural
Mission Statement
A person cannot practice the art of farming without the land and the animals to provide the foundation for his/her livelihood. In turn, the land and the animals cannot be a farm without the farmer. With this in mind, the agricultural aspect of Sprout Creek Farm aims to achieve a balanced partnership between the staff, the land, and the animals in order to provide the nucleus for the organization as a whole.
As stewards of the land, we aim to:
- provide a strong foundation for the market, creamery, and educational programs so they may best fulfill their own missions
- have a minimal impact on the environment while still making the best use of its resources
- provide an atmosphere for experiential farm-based education with the farm as the teacher
While striving to achieve these goals,
the farm endeavors to balance its dual identity as a sustainable working farm as well as an educational resource.
