The Farm

Discover Backyard Sustainability

Farming was at the heart of the Pleasant Hill Shaker community, and experimentation and resiliency made their farm a model of innovation and efficiency. Shaker Village continues this tradition by employing sustainable agricultural practices while tending our garden, orchard, livestock and apiary. In addition to providing fresh produce for The Trustees’ Table, The Farm shares lessons in sustainability with guests of all ages.

Visit The Farm and discover organic gardening tips, four-legged friends and barnyard adventures for the entire family. But don’t stop there—continue your exploration in The Historic Centre and The Preserve!

The Organic Garden

Discover Fresh Food—From Seed to Table

In the Shaker tradition, our farmers take pride in planting, tending and harvesting organically-grown fruits, vegetables and herbs, destined to end up on your plate in The Trustees’ Table. The garden is planted with spring, summer and fall crops, including assorted varieties of lettuces, kale, peas, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, okras, peppers, squashes and many more. The staff practices companion planting and crop rotation techniques to enrich soil nutrients and reduce pest problems.
