What People Are Saying

  • "Maurice is a Visionary. A prophet. An entrepreneur. An agriculturalist. A humanitarian. A planet caretaker. An Urban Legend. His work will continue to inspire the people he has come in contact with not only in their professional lives but also their personal."

    Frank W.

  • "I learned a lot about gardening and composting. I thought about the roles that gardening and farming play in people's lives on both a personal and community level. How it shapes and is shaped by the history of a place, its culture, its values, its economics. Thinking about sustainable agriculture and food justice is definitely something that I have carried with me into my graduate schooling in City & Regional Planning, and intend to carry with me once I enter the field as a professional."

    Erika B.

  • “I think back to my year with Maurice as the most pivotal, influential year of my life. He has influenced me greatly, and I still refer to him as my mentor. He exposed me to such a broad range of people doing vital work around food and community, and those experiences significantly widened my perspective. I always felt deeply trusted and respected by him. In my current job, I am still working with plants and youth, and feel like my time with Maurice gave me a richness and ability to intuit the interconnectedness of ecology and community.”

    MacKenzie B.

  • "Maurice is able and willing to connect with people from all corners of the city and country. He is a connector, educator, organizer, and promoter of good wages, ecologically grown food and live cultures."

    Meagan T.

  • "Maurice helped me believe that I could change my community."

A destination demonstration farm and training hub for sustainable growing

Small Farmz began with a simple seed: the belief that everyone deserves to connect with the earth.

Today, our demonstration and teaching farm provides a unique opportunity for future growers, food lovers, and community builders to learn by doing.

In addition to hands-on workshops, we offer coaching, consulting, and community partnerships.

We also teach practical skills in soil building, herb cultivation, and sustainable farming so that you can grow with confidence—whether in a backyard, a school garden, or on your own acreage.

Our Certified Naturally Grown herbs are produced with care and integrity, reflecting the same tools, techniques, and traditions we teach.

Rooted in decades of experience, our mission is simple: to model what’s possible and help you grow healthier food, stronger ecosystems, and deeper connections with the land.
