About Us

Linnaea Farm Society (LFS) was established in 1991 in order to bring local control to the projects and activities taking place on Linnaea Farm, and as a support and monitoring agency for the resident stewards.

 

Linnaea Farm serves to teach, demonstrate and develop values and practical skills for ecological land stewardship for the benefit of Cortes islanders and others who come to the farm to learn, thereby strengthening the relationship between community and land.

 

The farm is managed by the Board of Directors and Farm Team (formerly the Farm Stewards). The Board of Directors ensures that all activities taking place on the land are properly monitored and within the Linnaea Farm Conservation Covenants. The Farm Team manages the day-to-day and farm activities, including haying, maintenance of farm equipment, milking and other farm activities.

 

The LFS community believes that the core principles of land-trusting, deep respect for the land, and belief in the purposes of the LFS constitution provide the ongoing framework for all of our activities.  The vitality of the farm and the smooth operation of LFS projects are largely the result of the combined talents and energy of the Farm Team with guidance from the Board of Directors.
