Regenerative organic farming is the path to a brighter future

Human Health

Eliminating pesticides from our food system will reduce exposure to toxins that have been shown to have serious health consequences.

Environment

Soil health, water quality, and pollinator health are but a few ecological benefits of regenerative organic agriculture.

Local Economies

Sourcing food locally has powerful multiplier effects within local economies and strengthens communities in several ways.

Environmentalism Leads Back to the Soil

For decades, Lauren Bender and Adrian Hyde have been passionate environmental advocates and activists. Causes they have supported included blocking fracking in NY state, reducing ocean plastics, and expanding access to recycling opportunities. They are always asking themselves, “Where can we invest our limited time, money and energy to have the greatest, positive impact on the environment?” Not surprisingly, the answer always ties back to the soil. The role of soil in addressing climate change and a range of environmental and health issues is underappreciated. Dunwald Farm wishes to change that.

Testimonials

  • " Dunwald Farm is near our own farm. I knew what Dunwald looked like before it was farmed organically. The transformation has been miraculous, and it demonstrates the power of regenerative organic agriculture. The world would be a better place if more people adopted these agricultural practices. "

  • " Nomad achieves its exceptional flavor by sourcing the very best ingredients, often from local, organic farms like Dunwald. Dunwald’s garlic is beautiful in its appearance and perfect in its taste. We feel good knowing that there are never any chemicals on their produce. "

    Matt Shankel, Nomad Pizza

  • " Dunwald is a beautiful jewel of a farm set in Central Jersey, near Hopewell. I met Adrian Hyde at the Mercer County Agriculture Exchange, when he and Laura Braumley helped me figure out a ph issue with my garden soil. In a few short sentences my problem was solved, and Adrian signed up to donate part of his harvest to the Cornerstone Kitchen at Princeton United Methodist Church. His gifts of produce and time were invaluable to the CCK clients. We appreciate Dunwold's effort to reduce hunger in our local community. Thank you Dunwald Farm, you are making a difference in the lives of others. "
