Grow

Regenerative farming restores the health of our soil, strengthens local food systems, and honors the Island’s long relationship with the land. By building living soils, conserving water, and supporting biodiversity, regenerative practices help farms grow resilient food while protecting the Vineyard’s fragile ecosystems for future generations

Gather

Slough Farm creates space for people to connect—with the land, with food, and with one another. Through shared work, learning, and celebration, the farm becomes a welcoming place where community grows alongside the fields.

Impact

We strive to strengthen community through diverse partnerships and grant programs. Providing support, both financially and by working together, to have a positive impact on our island and its people. Our mission includes supporting our fellow island non profits and we work to improve islander quality of life as shared here.

Slough Farm fosters growth, curiosity, and collaboration through the integration of food, the arts, and culture with farming, place-based learning, and a commitment to community.

We are committed to the integration of small-scale, sustainable farming and the arts through place-based educational programming.

Facilitating collaborative exchange of skill, history, and perspective is part and parcel of our work. It is our hope that all our labors-- from weeding and harvesting shoulder-to-shoulder, to feeding our island community, to hosting artists-in-residence—aids this vision.

Community

Supporting our island farmers is at the forefront of Slough Farms mission.

Since 2018 we have given over $85K to support the Martha's Vineyard agricultural society grant program for island farmers and homesteaders. Funds are available to both production farmers and backyard growers each fall to support innovative projects not able to be funded by other initiatives.
