Rowdy Girl Veganic Farm
Rowdy Girl’s Veganic Farm is a labor of love for co-founder Tommy Sonnen. He started the project in 2016 when board member Kip Andersen recommended that he grow veganic instead of organic when Tommy was getting ready to plant a garden. Perplexed, Tommy wasn’t 100% sold on the idea until he started researching and experimenting on why veganic was so much better and cleaner than organic because food is grown without animal inputs. Now his love for farming combined with his ethical transition to veganism has fueled his passion to grow an abundance of crops veganically.
Tommy uses no animal inputs, instead, he enriched the soil using decomposed oak tree mulch. For fertilizer he uses green manure (mowed vegetation between rows) and cottonseed meal. He is exploring the use of seaweed meal.
The animals, staff, volunteers and our neighbors have all been enjoying the bounty of veganic produce harvested from the garden. If things keep going like they are, we will soon be offering our veggies to local grocery stores and farmers’ markets. More to come!
Rowdy Girl Veganic Farm is now taking orders for produce in season.
