The One Tiny Farm
It started with a dream. And with some planning, hard work, dedication, hundreds of volunteer hours, and donations from countless people and organizations across the Coast, the dream has come true!
The One Tiny Farm behind the Gumboot Restaurant has transformed into a magical space, with abundant gardens, bursting greenhouses, a cute caravan, and space for feasts, gatherings, and community.
We’ve hosted workshops, a big table dinner, and run a successful market garden. And this is only the beginning!
We’re looking forward to what we can all create together in the coming months and years. And we would love you to get involved!
