Join the Guild!
Blooming-Grove Organic Farm, also known as Blooming-Grove Gardens, is a private, start-up farming cooperative made up of volunteers, members and its’ landowner offering a wildlife setting for folks to share beekeeping, organic gardening and other holistic farm-related activities to be added over time.
Cooperative participation begins with leasing one or more full wired-enclosure(s) for growing low to moderate-height fruits, vegetables, flowers or herbs needing protection from resident wildlife. Participation also includes use of the farm for meditation, ‘green’ walks and shared activities. Our 2024 season’s project is the Three Sisters: a Native American companion planting ( ‘intercropping’) approach, the yields from which are shared by coop participants or donated to Durham Rescue Mission.
