Foundation Farm is only 1 year old but will reach its final shape and size in 2007.  Its 54 permanent beds are tended by a crew ranging from 1 to 5 depending on the time of the year.  The work is mostly manual with a lot of raking, mulching, transplanting and of course harvesting involved.  Our tractor is used mostly in early spring for initial bed preparation.

Our season extends from early March with our first outside-beds sowings and the start of our transplants in the greenhouse, till late November for our last harvests. The school season is slightly shorter, extending from April to October.

Our weekly load is structured simply with 3 half-days spent in the field: Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  We work typically for 5 hours straight during the most desirable part of the day: 9am till 2pm in spring-fall gradually changing to 8am till 1pm and 7am till noon as the heat rises. 

We love to see customers or others come and join us at the farm for a bit of work or just for lunch (on working days).  Do not hesitate to drop by. For directions to the farm send us an e-mail.

We participate to 2 Farmers' Markets: The Eureka Farmers Market on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (call 479-253 5749 for info), and the Fayetteville Farmers Market on Tuesday (early and late season only) and Saturday mornings.  Please find out about the markets' calendars and come and meet us at market time.
