Overmarsh Farm Commons

About the Land

Overmarsh Farm Commons is a dream our Grange has had for quite a while, a bit of land where we can offer opportunities to fellow islanders to grow for their families or for market. And now that dream is a reality. We have close to 40 acres along Roche Harbor Road near Sutton, of which 5-8 acres will be irrigated and protected from deer, and the rest will be in managed grazing and tree crops.

We offer a range of parcel sizes:

  • Community garden patches: 100-400 square feet
  • Medium plots: 500-1000 square feet
  • Allotments: 1000-2000 square feet
  • A commercial operation of up to half an acre
  • Collaborative farms: up to two acres
  • A share in a community orchard
  • Pastures for grazing animals
  • Custom growing ideas: just ask!
