Eighth Day is a small non-profit urban farm practicing regenerative agriculture in a parking lot. We’re Certified Naturally Grown and grow for CSA, market, and local food pantry donations. We focus on education surrounding healthy eating and best agricultural practices.
What is your farm’s philosophy?
Love the land. Love the people.
What do you grow?
Veggies! Also compost.
Where can we find your products?:
By joining our CSA, at the Holland Farmer’s Market, or at Community Action House’s pantry and community kitchen.
What would you say are your biggest challenges currently?:
Apart from adapting to a changing climate, the area around us is rapidly developing and we don’t have the best land security. We’re not anticipating being pushed out anytime soon, but it’s on our minds in all that we do.
What are you looking forward to in the season/s to come?
How is the food scene in Holland and West Michigan going to change? How will we do a better job of growing/eating? How will we reduce our waste as a community? I’m excited to contribute to answering these questions.
What do you want consumers to know about you?:
While we grow as many tasty veggies as we can, we also have a budding food waste recovery program. Visit our website for more info! www.eighthdayfarm.org
Why are you a member of the WM Growers Group?:
As a small local farm, we believe it’s important to have a community to invest in and lean upon. WM Growers Group provides a medium for that connection with other farmers with similar values.
What is your favorite farm tool?:
The Zipper
