About Buckminster Farm
A Warm Welcome to You
Buckminster Farm is a small farm that offers a haven from hurry. Our 28 acres include hayfields, forests, extensive gardens and happy chickens. The focus here is on slowly and surely building solid foundations. That includes soil health that nurtures healthy plants and healthy people and gardens that will provide beauty and bounty for generations. It also includes building relationships that are equally solid and nourishing. This is not a production farm - we offer the bounty of the farm in season and as available. Whether you become a subscriber and customize a mix of products and services or go a la carte and take a class, plan a restful and creative stay, design or redesign your garden, or treat your houseplants to Good Dirt, we hope the creativity, simplicity and beauty of this way of life will help you slow down, find peace, and enjoy life.

Workshops & Events
Making, Baking & Learning in Community
Comfrey, calendula, beeswax and cold-pressed olive oil. All are known as powerfully healing and soothing for your skin. In this workshop you will learn how to harvest and dry comfrey and calendula, how to steep the herbs in organic, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, and how to choose and mix the right proportion of beeswax to create the texture you want in your salve. The oil we will be using also includes lavendar and rosemary. Participants will leave with a 1 oz tin of salve and a 30 ml bottle of comfrey calendula face oil. If you would like to make more for gifts while you are here, you can fill additional tins and bottles for $5 and $12 respectively. These high-quality oils and salves make great teacher, co-worker and friend gifts and stocking stuffers. Workshop is 90 minutes and is free.

My Favorite Plants Grown in Re-Mineralized Soil
The key to growing healthy plants is to simply give them good soil and good growing conditions. The same mineral mix we use for our Good Dirt for houseplants goes into the beds here, too. The right nutrients and growing conditions make fruits and vegetables tastier and more nutritious and all plants more vibrant and vigorous. Perennials are available spring and fall when conditions are best for digging and transplanting. If you don’t see a plant on the list, please ask. We grow a wide variety of easy, vigorous plants.
We are also available for garden consults if you want to get started or are looking to improve design, efficiency and/or soil.
