EarthDance sustainably grows food, farmers, and community, one small farm at a time, through hands-on education and delicious experiences.

EarthDance is a non-profit educational organic farm dedicated to growing sustainable food, farmers, and community for the St. Louis region.

In addition to our CSA, we sell our produce at the Ferguson Farmers Market on Saturday mornings (8am - 12noon, Victorian Plaza in Ferguson) May - October, and the Maplewood Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons (4 - 7pm, Schlafly Bottleworks) April - October. We also sell to wholesale customers, including restaurants, caterers, and food trucks; contact us if you'd like to receive a weekly produce availability email!

EarthDance operates a part-time Organic Farming Apprenticeship program in St. Louis, Missouri, on a historic 14 acre farm in Ferguson. (We use organic practices and grow in living soil, but are not yet certified organic.) First-year apprentices (or "Freshman Farmies") commit to a minimum of 10 hours/week to the program, between (1) weekly enrichment sessions that include field walks, classes that cover everything from farm-scale composting to selling at farmers markets, and field trips to other local farms; (2) field work; and (3) selling at farmers markets. Apprentices also participate in our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, not only producing and putting together the shares, but receiving one.

We sell our produce at the Ferguson Farmers Market on Saturday mornings (8am - 12noon, Victorian Plaza in Ferguson), and the Maplewood Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons (4 - 7pm, Schlafly Bottleworks). www.fergusonfarmersmarket.com http://www.schlafly.com/market.shtml

EarthDance’s YEAH! (Youth Exploring Agriculture & Health) programs connect young people ages 5-21 to the natural world, healthy eating, and organic farming through farm-based job training, employment, and educational opportunities, including field trips for 1300+ students in 2017.
