GreatWonder Farm, Livingston NY

GreatWonder Farm, in Livingston, NY, is a robust, 127 acre agroforestry project that aims to profit from growing high value crops using earth-nurturing methods. We have taken dormant farmland and planted a mix of 11 species that will bring harvests of a wide variety of fruits, nuts and timber. At the same time, GreatWonder Farm and our regenerative farming practices will drawdown carbon from the atmosphere while revitalizing the soil. In the bigger picture, we would like to help bring about positive change for farmers in the area, share what we learn and help them to become more profitable and to grow food in a more sustainable and profitable way.
