Aquaponic Greenhouse

Dahlia Campus operates an aquaponic greenhouse where we grow produce and fresh fish year-round.

Aquaponics is a sustainable farming solution that recirculates water from fish tanks through vegetable grow beds.

Nutrients from the fish waste feed the plants and the plants filter the water to keep the fish healthy.

Market Farm 

Dahlia Market Farm grows over 30 different kinds of vegetables including your favorites like tomatoes, cucumbers and okra. We are always open to feedback - if you like what we grow, we want to hear from you! If you'd like us to plant specific produce, you're welcome to let us know.

The farmers use regenerative agricultural practices, such as cover crop, integrated pest management and crop rotation to keep our soil and produce healthy. Many of these practices are rooted in Indigenous wisdom and African American heritage.   

The farmers also acknowledge current science best practices and always seek to combine generational knowledge with modern science and technology to aid in climate resilience.  

All of this results in a farm that is beautiful and productive. Your Dahlia farmers hope you take some time to walk around the farm, stop and chat and take in the sights and sounds of the Farm! 

 

AlcoveGarden

Alcove "U-Pick" Gardens

The alcove gardens are interactive areas designed to be enjoyed and utilized by the community, staff, and people we serve. Anything you find in these gardens is free to pick, just be sure to follow food safety and honorable harvest guidelines.

As you walk through these gardens you might notice your five senses come alive: sight, touch, taste, smell, and even hearing. You can brew a cup of freshly picked herbal tea, smell and harvest a bouquet of vibrant flowers, pick ingredients to make a fresh salsa, or simply enjoy the sounds of the windchimes amongst the gnomes and fairies.
