Delmont's Farm Stand Under Way in Brooks

Newforest Institute hosts Delmont's Farm Stand Saturdays and Wednesdays in Brooks, where the nonprofit organization has forged deep, sustainable connections with the land through permaculture principles. The farm stand, which is located on Route 139 in Brooks Village, nearby the intersection of Routes 7 and 139, is open to the public to sell its produce 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays, as well as between 3 and 7 p.m. Wednesdays.

The farm stand also serves as a pick-up station Wednesdays for those purchasing shares in New Forest's Community Support Agriculture (CSA) cooperative.

Since 2007, New Forest Institute has developed a food forest and created open fields and gardens, all designed in the pattern of a nuatural ecosystem. When New Forest purchased the property where the farm stand is located, it was named in honor of local icon Delmont Clark who was the last owner of the property.
