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.
Our Focus
So, Let’s get going!
For one person alone to make big changes can be overwhelming. But working as a group we can make big change possible.
This can take work, but the rewards are enormous. We can provide each other with inspiration, strategies, and practical support.. And sharing our efforts helps us build a stronger community. It 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!
Join us! Let’s learn together, inspire each other, and have some fun!
