The Great Lakes Incubator Farm (GLIF) is dedicated to training the next generation of farmers through a local farming model rooted in regenerative agriculture. Our goal is to build resilience within local food systems while fostering a lasting culture of health and wellness.
GLIF serves as a demonstration farm where community members can gather and connect to learn about natural resources, conservation, agriculture, food, farming systems, and regenerative practices.
We strive to ensure equitable access to land and farming opportunities for our graduates, while promoting inclusivity within our trainees, staff, board, and the broader community.
At GLIF, we actively engage in continuous learning, leveraging resources and training to advance social justice and food insecurities. We are committed to breaking down barriers for anyone interested in a career in agriculture and creating pathways for aspiring farmers from diverse backgrounds.
