St. Mary Organic Farm Community Garden

St. Mary Organic Farm is a two-acre garden located in the heart of Monroe, Mich., on 260-acres of land. The IHM Sisters began the garden in 1998 as part of the IHM commitment to sustainability. In 2001, St. Mary Organic Farm joined the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) movement. Over the years we served 100 CSA members and many more supporters.

In 2009, during the hard economic times, St. Mary Organic Farm transitioned from a CSA to a community garden, enabling us to be more viable and inclusive while holding to our mission of caring for the land and building community.

St Mary Organic Farm in 2008Spirituality, sustainability and education are key components at St. Mary Organic Farm. Every spring when planting is finished, hundreds of IHM Sisters, Associates, friends and neighbors gather with garden members to bless the land. We are grateful for the seasons of life, the harvest and for the community we share. St. Mary Organic Farm offers educational opportunities on and off the field. We enjoy potlucks, concerts and many other events together.

Come and see what we are all about. For more information about the organic garden or other IHM events, contact us.

Garden plots will provide food for the less fortunate in Monroe, but we need the help of businesses and organizations to be sponsors. Can you help or know someone that can?
