Birdsfoot Farm is a part of Avalon Nature Preserve, located in St. James, New York, and focuses on sustainable agriculture, education, and community engagement. Dedicated to regenerative farming practices, the farm grows a wide variety of seasonal produce without synthetic chemicals, supporting environmental health and local food systems. Birdsfoot Farm emphasizes ecological stewardship and serves as a hands-on educational resource for students and visitors interested in farming, conservation, and sustainability.

As part of its mission, Birdsfoot Farm seeks to inspire curiosity and appreciation for nature by integrating farming into broader environmental education initiatives facilitated by Avalon Nature Preserve.
