The MARM Farm Education and Conservation Center

The MARM Farm Education and Conservation Center is dedicated to fostering sustainable food systems, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment through education, hands-on learning, and organic farming practices. Guided by permaculture principles and a commitment to accessibility, we strive to inspire individuals of all ages to engage in conservation efforts, embrace sustainable agriculture, and build resilient, healthy communities.

The MARM Farm Education and Conservation Center, founded by Ellen Colby, promotes sustainable agriculture and conservation through education and hands-on practices rooted in permaculture. Operating as a USDA-registered farm and part of the Milwaukee Urban Demonstration Farm network, it showcases organic methods, offers community workshops, and provides affordable access to fresh produce via a pay-as-you-can farmstand, empowering healthier, resilient communities.
