Serenbe’s in-community certified organic farm lures in many local eco-enthusiasts. After first obtaining organic status by Quality CertificationServices in 2004, the 25-acre working farm is now in its 11th season of sprouting. The neighborhood’s full-time farmers and apprentices produce more than 300 varieties of heirloom and hybrid veggies, flowers and herbs. Annually, Serenbe harvests over 60,000 lbs. of produce, which is then distributed through its community-supported agriculture program and local farmers markets.
