TRAP
Farm Project Description
TRAP (A Tribe for Regenerative & Alternative Prosperity) is a regenerative, self-sustaining farm and community initiative. Our focus is on producing organic vegetables, mushrooms, seedlings and starts, as well as year-round greenhouse crops, along with preserved and processed products. The long-term vision includes eco-tourism, education, and community engagement. To bring TRAP to life, we are building step by step: first by stabilizing seedling production and seasonal food crops on smaller land, and then expanding into a larger regenerative system.
