The Sharing Garden
The Goshen Farm Sharing Garden provides a place for Goshen Farm Members to garden and educates the public about the farm’s history and importance. The Garden Chair, Bob Nestruck, and the Garden Committee also intend to provide kids with the opportunity to plant, grow, and harvest delicious and healthy food while having fun. Beginning and expert gardeners are encouraged to “Get Dirty and Eat Fresh!”
