VISION
(Bethel
AME Church, owners)
Hobbs Farm is a historic farm that seeks to maintain a
spiritual, physical, and academic connection with Christ
by using its agrarian setting to serve the local
community.
Our Mission
(Friends of Hobbs
Farm, managers)
To achieve this vision, the Friends of Hobbs
Farm works to:
1)
Provide fresh, wholesome, local produce to the needy
through a network of local food pantries and food
programs.
2)
Maintain a remnant of agrarian legacy of the area by
preserving both the last farm in the Middle Country
community and African-American family farm on Long
Island.
3)
Raise public awareness about hunger and food
production through both formal and informal
educational programs targeting the local youth and
adult residents.
4)
Help foster a sense of community pride by hosting
public events in partnership with civic and
educational organizations in the area.
5)
Provide opportunities for spiritual growth through
the farm’s accessibility to local churches and
similar groups.
