“The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is.” Joel SalatinLinnaea Farm Food GuildIn the dictionary it’s an association of people for mutual aid or the pursuit of a common goal. In Permaculture, a guild is a system of efficiently grouping different parts together in order to use everything to its fullest potential.
Linnaea Farm Food Guild members • can order fresh in season awesomeness through an online order form
• can order value added products and nutritious take home meals made from farm goods
• have access to our agricultural library,
• get first access to linnaea farm seeds, beef, and other farm products. If we're not producing it this year, we are connecting with other small-scale farms to get products to you (pasture raised chicken and lamb are some of the products we are currently securing).
• can donate to Gifting the Guild: which supports members of our community
