You Farm began in 2015 as a hydroponic greens farm in the owners garage. The next year they purchased a dirt lot in Loxahatchee where they could keep rescued animals, grow seasonal greens including lettuce, kale, micro greens, wheatgrass, and barley grass, raise chickens for eggs, have a U-pick sunflower field, hold events, and welcome field trips. Profits from the farm support You Farm's non profit which promotes education in third world countries so they can become food and water sustainable.
The farm got its name because it is a place where families can farm their own food such as greens and eggs. You can either purchase their produce or grow your own in the community garden. People who grow their own food here are called You Farmers.
I was driving back from Loxahatchee when I spotted n event at the farm. They were hosting a Seafood Festival and there were a number of food trucks including my favorite, Captain Lobstar. In addition they had some vendors selling craft items, a bounce inflatable for the kids, and they were holding some games like toss the egg.
I enjoyed visiting with their adorable animals which included horses, goats, and chickens and I loved learning about what they are doing here. They are helping people to grow nutritious organic produce, aiding people in third world countries, and rescuing animals. This place is worthy of everyone's support. Like them on Facebook to learn about upcoming events they are hosting including a Farmers Market on March 6th. read more
