Krishna Food Forest & Farm

We are an organic food forest & urban farming cooperative based in Millcreek, Utah.

We are a member-driven community of growers who seek to provide one another with fresh, local, organic food.

The mission of the Krishna Food Forest & Farm, colloquially known as the Krishna garden, is to build a holistic community through advocacy and local farming and fostering emotional safety by seeking to know the needs and offerings of each individual in the community.

Food forests, which are sometimes called forest gardens and commonly used and promoted in permaculture, are an agriculture system based on a woodland ecosystem, primarily featuring perennial fruit and nut-bearing trees, bushes, and vines.

The garden utilizes both ‘veganic’ and ‘beyond organic’ methods of cultivation, so for example, fertilizers used are simply compost, compost tea, and green manures. While not directly associated with the Hare Krishna religion, the garden adheres to some Krishna guidelines out of respect because it is hosted on their land. This means no garlic, onions, mushrooms, or animal products are grown in the garden, consumed in the potlucks, or used to cultivate the land.
