Agriculture & Sustainable Farming
Organic practices have been used in fruit and vegetable production for the 40 years the Guild has been at its current rural location. A five-year-old market garden, named East Hill Farm, sells to the community through farmers markets and a CSA - we are part of the Good Food Collective [http://thegoodfoodcollective.com], a multi-farm CSA in Rochester, NY. Additionally, an organic and biodynamic community garden provides vegetables for residents. Agricultural projects include organic farming, orcharding, vineyard work, food preservation (mainly canning and freezing), beekeeping, sustainable forestry/firewood production, and general building/grounds maintenance. 
Good stewardship of the land has been a guiding principle for more than 30 years it East Hill Farm. The farm has followed organic and biodynamic farming practices since its founding in 1967.
The work of restoring the Earth's natural and human cultural systems grows from the understanding of ecological and natural design processes and our role in diminishing the Earth's vitality and ability to support life.
