Mission
The mission of Wakeman Town Farm is to
serve the Westport community as an educational demonstration center for
sustainable living.
Vision
In keeping with our agrarian roots, Wakeman Town Farm provides Westport citizens with a place to experience hands-on homesteading practices, encompassing time honored and cutting edge methods, such as composting, succession planting, solar and wind power technologies.
Wakeman Town Farm offers a wide array of educational programs in agriculture, land stewardship and animal husbandry which serve to inspire the community to unite for the mutual benefit of a healthy environment and a more sustainable future.
Wakeman Farm is grateful to the Green Village Initiative group for their generous donation of the renovations made to this beautiful historic property for the town of Westport.
