WORK

This year we will be building a “Green Barn” which is an experiment in northern, cold climate greenhouse heating. Our goal is to utilize a combination of sustainable greenhouse heating techniques that we can demonstrate to others in cold climate situations as a viable and attractive option while expanding our growing season and increasing our food production.

Our long-term goal here at Purple Raven Farm is to produce healthy food in ways that remain resilient under growing climatic,
resource and economic pressures so that we can continue to produce food for those in need as we move into this future. We
have a wide range of different projects including, Garden work, vegetable, herb and flower maintenance, wild herb harvesting, garden bed expansion building, taking care of goats, trial building, wood harvesting, building a wood shed, composting, mushroom cultivation, wood chipping, clay oven building, wild berry harvesting, rock moving, soil building.
