Our mission is to be an expression of abundance, spiritual connection and stewardship…a community of people committed to growing healthy food and sustaining a prosperous green model for generations to come. Our vision is to re-cultivate the legacy of the Fillmore ecological footprint at Unity Village. The Gardens at Unity Village emerged from a vision in late 2008 as some 30 people gathered to promote the idea. The vision took form after an ad hoc committee developed a business plan and a working agreement with Unity Village. By late summer, 2009 a lease was signed and The Gardens at Unity Village was chartered as a 501c(3) not for profit organization. The impetus for all this was a desire to create an enterprise that would bridge the magnificence of the former Unity Farm (a once vibrant orchard and produce farm) with a 21st century, eco-friendly, “Learning Garden.” Hence —The Gardens at Unity Village. From the beginning the operating philosophy has been to demonstrate and model the benefits of growing fruit, herbs and vegetables locally and naturally. Thanks to a donated high tunnel “hoop house”, two acres of garden, two acres of orchard and a host of volunteers, that is precisely what has been happening for fourteen years.
