SORRENTO TRACTOR UPDATE!

With the addition of the Sorrento Centre Farm property we are now responsible for maintaining over 30 acres of land that includes roads, lawns, forest trails and a working farm.

In order to efficiently manage our grounds and farm production we need a tractor. This tractor will help us do jobs including mowing, tilling, snow plowing, trench digging and moving large materials.

We successfully raised over $24,000 for our tractor fund during the 2010 and 2011 seasons through generous donations from many of our friends and associates as well as with raffles, a grant and our on-line auction [see auction here »]

We are inspired and excited at this tremendous show of support for the Sorrento Centre Farm!

The Farm: Sharing the Abundance

The Sorrento Centre fosters, nurtures and supports community

The Sorrento Centre Farm is committed to sharing our abundance with those most in need in our community.

We donate a portion of our harvests throughout the growing season to the Sorrento Food Bank and to a local subsidized seniors housing community. We believe that all people have a right to access fresh vegetables. The Sorrento Centre fosters, nurtures and supports community. We feel that sharing with our community is an important way of building relationships and working together to improve our world.

Our program of donating food to people in need is one of the ways that the Sorrento Centre Farm will expand. Our farm has the potential to increase our production to meet the needs of people in our community. We can expand our giving by developing new relationships with local charities. We are currently seeking new friends and partners in the community who are interested in receiving donations of fresh seasonal produce.

"Community, then, is an indispensable term in any discussion of the connection between people and land. A healthy community is a form that includes all the local things that are connected by the larger, ultimately mysterious form of the Creation.

In speaking of community, then, we are speaking of a complex connection not only among human beings or between humans and their homeland but also between human economy and nature, between forest or prairie and field or orchard, and between troublesome creatures and pleasant ones. All neighbours are included."

— Wendell Berry (The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry)
