A Note on Land Stewardship
Forest Fringe Farm exists through an ongoing practice of care, repair, and relationship with the land. Stewardship here is not about control or perfection, but about listening, responding, and tending over time.
The farm sits on wet, living ground. Water moves through the site in visible and invisible ways, shaping where we walk, grow, and gather. Our approach honors these patterns—working with seasonal flow, protecting wetlands, and allowing parts of the land to rest or regenerate as needed.
As a visitor, you are part of this stewardship. Staying on paths when possible, moving gently through planted or sensitive areas, and respecting signs or boundaries helps protect fragile systems. Please avoid disturbing soil, plants, or wildlife habitats, even when they appear untended.
We practice low-impact living: composting waste, conserving water, minimizing energy use, and building slowly. Many structures are temporary or evolving, reflecting a long-term commitment to adaptability rather than permanence.
Stewardship also extends beyond ecology. Forest Fringe Farm is a Black- and queer-led space rooted in care, consent, and shared responsibility. How we treat one another is inseparable from how we treat the land.
Thank you for arriving with attention, humility, and respect. The future of this place depends on many small, thoughtful acts—yours included.
