Round the Bend Farm
90 Allen’s Neck Road
Dartmouth, Ma 02748
Beginning
with Round the Bend Farm, in Dartmouth, MA., the Marion Institute seeks
to create an agricultural enterprise that is self-sustaining; that enriches
the bio-diversity of the land to its ultimate carrying capacity; that
provides food year round, to the greatest extent possible in a self-perpetuating
model and that enriches our community through the production and dissemination
of organic products.
Round the Bend Farm will be a very different kind of farm, indeed. In the near future we hope to have wind turbines and solar panels, farm equipment powered by bio-diesel or Belgian horses. A host of other animals will help to increase the fertility of our meadows and aid us in managing invasive species in an oil-free manner – in addition to their generous offering of milk, eggs and a variety of other delicious by-products. And our growers will use farming techniques based on the ancient wisdom of indigenous communities and biomimicry – the concept of Nature as a model and mentor – to help cultivate seasonal, organic and sustainable crops.

Lucky
Field Organics moved to Rochester in 2006 onto 47 acres that have been
in agriculture since the 1700's. The land was purchased in the1940's and
has been farmed without pesticides and herbicides ever since. With many
hands, and help from How On Earth, the Lucky Field crew has built up the
farm and it is now USDA certified organic. We grow fresh vegetables and
flowers for "The Store" in Mattapoisett, multiple farmers markets,
numerous restaurants, and a 200 share CSA program.
Lucky Field Organics is working to find the best ways to grow the greatest amount of fresh organic produce possible. Using tried and true ideas from the past, and combining them with the latest research into the interrelation of natural systems, plant vigor, and organic production techniques, we seek to develop agricultural systems that will lead to a future without chemical farming.
With 14 acres of fields and over 12,000 square feet of greenhouse space we are growing and expanding each year. We constantly strive to find and improve on the model for sustainable organic agriculture as well. Increasing the efficiency and economic viability of our farm, and helping to develop new sustainable enterprises with the next generation of sustainable farmers, is part of our commitment to the long term transition forward into the future.
