Our Mission
Gael Roots Community Farm nurtures the interconnection of people to their natural environment through traditional agricultural practices, intergenerational knowledge sharing, reciprocal relationships with the land, and the encouragement of a dynamic creative culture
What Is Gael Roots Community Farm?
The Gael Roots Community Farm is a collaboratively run educational farm located between Livingston Manor and Youngsville NY. Gael Roots offers educational opportunities centered around land stewardship practices and farm sustainability through hands-on programming for community members of all ages—including internship and mentorship programs. Gael Roots also hosts artists and activists and is working towards suppling the local community and schools with organic vegetables.
