Land’s Sake Farmstand

Part of Land’s Sake Farm’s Grow With Us capital campaign, the new 4,300 SF farmstand building offers flexibility to fit the changing needs of the farm year-round. Designed and built following passive house principles and targeting net-zero, carbon neutral energy standards, the new 2-story structure was constructed of sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems, including cross-laminated timber (CLT), Climatop ultra N triple glazed low-e insulated glass windows (R-10) and a rooftop solar array that powers the entire farm.

The front-of-house space expands and contracts with the growing season, providing fresh produce, locally sourced specialty foods, a coffee station and a demonstration kitchen. The facility provides a permanent covered space for vegetable processing and walk-in storage, thereby minimizing food waste. Additional amenities include outdoor seating and gathering spaces for farm patrons, and an outdoor classroom. During the pre-construction phase, Bowdoin worked with the owner and Payette architects, providing pro-bono budgeting and scheduling assessments.
