RICEBORO - Hampton Island Preserve, a private, upscale housing development off the coast here, helped teach graders from Savannah Country Day School where the food they eat comes from, the importance of healthy eating and a little about the ecosystem of the Georgia coastal area.
The lessons came March 12 as students toured Hampton Island's 40-acre Harvest Lake Farm, a self-contained, community-supported farm, which yields organic produce, herbs, fruit and flowers for the island's culinary department, residents and members. The farm also provides custom-blended products for its on-site, open-air Farm House Spa.
Developed by manager Daron Joffe, who the development calls a biodynamic farmer, educator and environmentalist, Harvest Lake Farm symbolizes the overriding philosophy of Hampton Island Preserve.
