A newly-formed indpendent non-profit Westport GVI Town Farm, Inc. has leased the historic Wakeman Farm from the Town of Wesport to create a true "Town Farm." The Town Farm will be an organic demonstration homestead and farm open to the public.
The goal is to become a model facility that will educate/inspire the community with local healthy food production, responsible land stewardship, 
sustainable practices and community/service orientation. Activities will include growing fruits and vegetables, demonstrating/teaching best practices for food generation and preservation, and providing a farm stand and CSA pickup location.
Mike Aitkenhead, Staples HS Environmental Teacher and 2009 Westport Teacher of the Year will take up residence at and oversee the Town Farm along with his wife, Carrie, and their one year old son, Ethan.
The Town Farm will be updated and prepped over the next few months with planting expected spring 2010. Following is a WISH LIST of items needed for donation:
