Shimmering Light Farm

Shimmering Light Farm

Shimmering Light Farm is a cooperative garden serving 20-30 families per year in South Bristol, NY. Members plant and harvest organic vegetables every Saturday from April through November each season. In addition to produce and some fruit, the group raises free range, organic laying hens for egg production and bees for organic honey.

The Farm also has a small CSA (community supported agriculture). CSA members visit the farm every Wednesday to pick up their vegetables, the same vegetables that are harvested on Saturdays with community garden members. There is no work involved with the CSA, and the cost is more expensive, but it is another way for people to experience the farm and benefit from fresh, healthy produce.

Herb Haven

Shimmering Light Farm is a program of Seeking Common Ground, a non-profit organization dedicated to exploring, modeling, and inspiring more conscious and restorative ways of life. The organization also funds and operates Herb Haven, a gardening and crafting therapy program for Ontario and Yates County women and children in transition from situations like underemployment, domestic abuse, rehab, and incarceration.
