About Us
Our drive to promote sustainability in our neighborhood, our community, our environment, our world
Making the world a better place
Join Sustainable Hill Farms in our mission to make the world a better place, one yard, one block, one neighborhood at a time. We strive to create positive change through training, mutual support, and focused action.
Who We Are
We started out as a group of neighbors in the University Hill Farms neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin. While our initial focus was to restore the biodiversity of our own yards, the group quickly evolved. We focus on learning about sustainable practices which do include our yards but so much more. The components of sustainability include building strong community, reconnecting with nature, supporting the environment, producing food, and engaging in local action.

So, Let’s get going!
For one family alone to make a rain garden, start a pollinator garden, or learn to grow food, it can be daunting and expensive. But working as a group will make such an endeavor more affordable and much more enjoyable.
Changes of this kind take work, but the rewards are enormous. We can provide each other with inspiration, strategies, and practical support for making and maintaining truly living landscapes. And sharing our efforts helps us to build a stronger community and is an important expression of hope.
So how are we sharing? We can share labor, tools, and expertise. We can participate in learning sessions to educate ourselves and hone our skills. We can come together for social times. We can work together on volunteer efforts outside our neighborhood. So many possibilities! Let’s explore them together
