We’re excited to share that Sweet Farm’s farm cart in front of our Sweet Farm Provisions store on Main Street is now serving as a community farm and garden share. It’s a simple way to celebrate abundance, reduce waste, and help more neighbors enjoy fresh, local goodness.
August in the Garden
August is here, and in the garden that means one thing: peak summer abundance. The tomatoes are ripening, the garlic is ready for its moment to shine, and the whole farm feels full of flavor, color, and activity. It’s the best part of summer, even if the heat has some crops slowing down a bit.
We are grateful to share that five sheep and seven ducks have just arrived at Sweet Farm, from yet another sanctuary that was recently forced to close its doors. While we wish every sanctuary could continue this important work, we are honored to be a safe landing place for animals in need.
In just the past three years, we have taken in more than 70 animals from closing sanctuaries.
July in the Garden
Summer is here, and the garden is moving fast. Regenerative gardening means growing in a way that restores soil health, supports biodiversity, and helps the garden renew its soil time. July is a great time to stay proactive with simple, regenerative practices that keep weeds under control, reduce pest pressure, and support strong, healthy plants without resorting to harsh interventions.
Summer is finally here, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy the sunshine, fresh food, and long days outdoors. It’s also a great moment to make small, thoughtful choices that help protect the planet while keeping life joyful and simple.
June in the Garden
June doesn’t last forever, and that’s part of its charm. It’s the month where everything feels possible, and where the garden is just beginning to show you what it can become.
If spring was about starting, June is about watching the garden wake up and do what it was meant to do.
This May, we’re celebrating one of the simplest ways to make a real difference for the planet: growing some of your own food.
Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet
Earth Day 2026 is coming up on April 22, and this year’s theme is “Our Power, Our Planet”; a powerful reminder that real change starts with each of us.
March in the Garden
National Pig Day is celebrated every year on March 1 in the United States as a day to honor the intelligence and charm that pigs possess. At Sweet Farm, National Pig Day is a moment to celebrate the individual pigs in our care and to shine a light on the hidden costs of factory-farmed pork on the planet and human health.

We have some heartwarming news to share just in time for Giving Tuesday and the Year of the Horse!
Sweet Farm recently welcomed two beautiful Icelandic horses to our sanctuary family.
Please welcome Pen and Lilla!
The holidays have a way of lighting up our lives — sparkling lights, cozy gatherings, thoughtful gifts, and time shared with loved ones. Yet as beautiful as the season can be, it can also be one of the most resource-heavy times of the year. From excess packaging and food waste, to energy use and travel, our celebrations often come at a high environmental cost.
We recently got a call from a family who needed to rehome their very sweet and friendly 10-year-old goat. She was born on their hobby farm and was bred at least once, but after losing her best friend last year she was tragically being bullied by the rest of her herd.
Autumn offers a perfect opportunity to align our habits with our ethics. Read on for some simple steps for you to give back to the planet this season:
October in the Garden
Autumn has settled in, the air is crisp, and our fields are golden with the last light of the growing season. This month, we’re celebrating the close of another fruitful summer, planning ahead for winter and spring, and rallying support for an important part of farm life—our hay supply!
