Our mission is to connect people to the land. Land's Sake combines ecologically-sound land management practices with hands-on environmental education to model how public open space can be used and enjoyed by the community.

A 501c3 nonprofit corporation, we run a public farm, host educational programming for all ages, maintain the town forest for recreational and production uses, and care for both public conservation and private land.

Our efforts are centered on three themes:

• Environmental Education

• Sustainable Land Management and Open Space Preservation

• Community-Building and Caretaking

Bringing people onto the land as visitors to our farm, as volunteers or youth workers, and through our active educational programs, we directly connect people to their local ecology. Our work uncovers the intrinsic value of the land around us and the importance of treating the land with respect.

We are a certified organic farm and greenhouse operation growing over 800 varieties of herbs, flowers and vegetable starts.  Since we grow all of the plants from seeds or cuttings ourselves, we focus on unique, hard-to-find varieties, including lots of heirlooms that are appropriate for the New England growing environment.  Customers can ask gardening questions and receive good practical tips based on our years of experience growing the plants and being certified organic 12 years.
