“In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we are taught” Baba Dioum

At Venetucci Farm, we believe that it is important to conserve our agricultural heritage so as to preserve local food sources. The gift of Venetucci Farm from Nick and Bambi Venetucci to the community provides not only a local food source, but also a “classroom” where children can re-connect with their food in a way that teaches an appreciation of the land and all the life it supports. We offer both tours and classes that give children of all ages an opportunity to “get their hands dirty” and explore the wonders of a working farm.

We look forward to seeing you at the farm,

The Venetucci Farm Staff
