More about The Farm Stand Gallery:

 "The FarmStand Art Space at Gospel Flats Farm hosts a variety of creative innovators, artists and events, ranging from gourmet dinners, and independent film screenings, to progressive art exhibits.

Beyond an edible garden, our farm is an edible landscape, and our work is both as producers and artists. We believe that food deserves an explanation, food deserves a parade, a second look and a creative attitude.

Mr Murch at the Farmstand

"Gospel Flat was named for the churches that were built on this flat, fertile delta. Gospel Flat, to us is a place of hope, a place that offers the good news of the land: pure and simple sustenance at the roadside... Our field mirrors our kitchen table in its abundant culinary delights and flavors. This diversity of vegetables and animals is key to the ecological health of our fields and to the satisfaction of our human palate. But most importantly, this diverse farm keeps a giant wing of our culture alive, intact and local"  

Gorpelflatfarm.com.

ART CONTEMPORARY MARIN is very much looking forward to our first collaboration with this visionary group of farmers and artists.

The West Marin Fund supports Art Contemporary Marin's programs in West Marin!  In 2013 they gave us grants to fund a youth intern to create a video and for a board development workshop. We are thrilled that they have awarded us a 2014 grant of $1,000 for marketing and fundraising. The grant will support this free newsletter, our blog, facebook page and other public information.  Thank you West Marin Fund!
