Restoring the farmland has been our primary mission at the Anthill. The transformation from an old dairy farm into a diversified collage of sustainable fruit and vegetable production has proved to be both challenging and rewarding.

In addition to providing the most nutrient dense food possible, we have been working on a number of projects that will help us cultivate a more prosperous future.

High Tunnels

• Two 30’ X 96’ unheated, plastic covered greenhouses for late fall, winter, and early spring vegetable production
• Reliable and uniform temperature and humidity protect plants and transplants from the cold and wind

Root Cellar

• A 25’ X 25’ concrete cellar banked into the side of a hill
• Provides a constant temperature for storage throughout the year

Orchard

• Over 750 Hazel and Chestnut trees planted in the spring of 2008

• A collection of 150 European and Asian Pears planted in the spring of 2010 and 2011

Forest Garden

• A perennial polyculture designed to be a self-sufficient garden based on woodland ecosystems

• Fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, shrubs, herbs, and vegetables grow on multiple levels in the same area
