Slow Food East End is thrilled to announce that Golden Acres Farm, a shining example of organic farming excellence on the East End, has been awarded the prestigious Snail of Approval! This recognition celebrates Golden Acres’ commitment to true regenerative farming practices, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.
Founded by experienced farmers Matt Kursk and Maggie Wood, Golden Acres embodies the ethos of organic agriculture, drawing from their rich experience at Golden Earthworm, a renowned 30-year-old organic farm. Matt and Maggie’s dedication to growing food in harmony with nature, while fostering strong ties to the community, has laid the foundation for Golden Acres’ success.
Under the new stewardship of Kelly and Sean Brennan, veterans of Golden Earthworm, Golden Acres continues to thrive as a beacon of sustainable farming practices. Their mission, simple yet profound, is to nourish the soil for future generations while providing wholesome, organic produce to our community today.
At Golden Acres, every aspect of farming is approached with meticulous care and attention to detail. From stimulating soil biology to innovative pest control methods, they prioritize environmental health and food safety. Their commitment to composting, recycling, and minimal tilling demonstrates their dedication to sustainable agriculture.
Join us at our Summer Solstice Celebration and Strawberry Picking and Tasting on June 20th at the farm where SFEE will present Golden Acres with their Snail of Approval award.
Let’s gather together to celebrate Golden Acres’ achievement and to honor their contribution to our local food system. We hope you can all join us for an evening of community, connection, and celebration of sustainable farming practices.
