The Friends of Holly Hill Farm, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization that was established in 2002 and charged with using the resources of Holly Hill Farm to teach children and adults. The mission of the Friends of Holly Hill Farm, Inc. is to enhance and use the resources of Holly Hill Farm, which includes its organic farm operation, its historic farm buildings, and its diversified natural areas for educational purposes. Educational goals include teaching the value of sustainable farming principles that result in healthy food and of responsible stewardship that protects the land.
The Friends' outdoor classroom, Holly Hill Farm, is a working farm that exemplifies the principles of sustainable agriculture and sound forest management. The farm grows certified organic vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers of the highest quality to sell at its farm stand and at the local Farmers' Market. Today's 5 acre active organic vegetable, flower and herb farming operation is the outdoor classroom for the Friends' educational programs. Also playing a key role are the farm's additional 125 acres of natural resources which include woods, fields, brooks, ponds and salt marsh along with an abundance of wildlife.
