Ardenwood Historic Farm

The East Bay Regional Park District in California has operated Ardenwood Historic Farm since 1985. The farm still grows the same kind of produce that was grown in the region in the last 100 years, utilizing agricultural practices from the 1870s to the present, demonstrating the transition from horse-powered to horsepower farming. The interpretive staff and volunteers, attired in Victorian clothing, guide guests through the Victorian house, demonstrate farm chores, and explain what life was like in the early 1900s.

Our Mission

Pizza Garden

This garden will be created to provide ingredients for tomato sauce to be used by the Food Services team at the South Hadley School System. The location of the garden is the Town Farm. Our project is a pilot and not yet approved by the school. Students and administrators along with the Youth Commissioner are assisting in the development of the garden and the program. We begin planting at the end of April and could use all the support we can get. South Hadley is a town traumatized by a teen suicide several years ago.

Rome Sustainable Food Project

The Rome Sustainable Food Project provides the community of the American Academy in Rome with a collaborative dining program that nourishes scholarship and conviviality. Guided by the indomitable spirit of the Roman table, it is our aim to construct a replicable model for sustainable dining in an institution. In 2006, Alice Waters envisioned the Rome Sustainable Food Project as an eco-gastronomic endeavor that would be a logical extension of the Academy’s values.
