Project Overview:
Land’s Sake Farm is a non-profit community farm located on public land that donates 30% of its produce for hunger relief to communities in need and serves as an educational venue for 8,000 children annually. The new Farmstand and Animal Barn are the result of a 7-year pro-bono effort that began with a master plan; they form the heart of the Agrarian Campus. The structures are sited to preserve the “infinite vista” through the heart of the historic site and explore the craft and materiality of “First Settlers” building techniques, with a confident nod toward modernity.
