Our current priority is recreating the New England tradition of the town farm with a 21st century sensibility...

 

We're calling it Joy Town Farm (as Troy was once named Joy) a place that serves our community where capitalism can't / won't.

 

The town farm was the original social safety net, before DHS and social security... a net that held and supported people that needed help... organically and efficiently
