What is the Farm at Agritopia
The farm is at the geographical center of Agritopia and is a key element for the community. It is not like a country farm in that it will be in the heart of a fairly dense urban area. This farm is an "urban farm" design to flourish in the urban setting. Instead of a huge field of one crop, you find a patchwork of numerous specialty crops. The farm has pathways which allow residents and visitor to easily view the crops.
The harvest is sold at the Farm Stand (now open), as well as being served at Joe's Farm Grill and The Coffee Shop. All of the produce grown on the farm is grown under a protocol at least as stringent as the USDA organic protocol.
Welcome to the Farm Stand. Closed for the Summer.
The Farm Stand is abundant with greens, cabbage, beets, carrots, and many other vegetables.

The seedless grape vines are forming arbors along the pathways. We have pruned them for the winter.
Our citrus trees are heavy with fruit .
This year, we are testing selling citrus on the honor system. Bags are available 24/7 and customers pay at the cash box.
We offer Romanseco, an amazingly intricate cousin to broccoli
