New Roots Community Farm

This project offers access to locally grown food, an opportunity for businesses to begin or expand farming operations, vocational training for farmers, community garden space, and a local food distribution site. Whether you are a farmer, aspiring farmer, consumer, resident, visitor, young or old – the New Roots Community Farm has something to offer you.

This farm is rooted in local tradition, heritage, and history. For generations, the property has been used for agricultural endeavors, and we aim to continue this tradition. In 2016, the Whitlock Farm was purchased by the Fayette County Farmland Protection Board. In 2019, work began at the farm to preserve the land for agricultural use and create opportunities to advance the food and farm economy in Fayette County. We changed the name to New Roots Community Farm and re-branded the project to reflect our values.
