Little Uruguay Neighborhood Farm

Little Uruguay is a Micro-Farm and perennial food garden located in Bay Spring Barrington.

As a homage to our Latin American roots and farming family history in Uruguay, we steward and care for the land using modern regenerative, organic, and natural farming practices adapted from many years of study and on farm research and practice.

Our perennial food farm grows native fruits, roots, vegetables, and medicine (herbs and flowers). It serves as a living ecosystem that nourishes native pollinators and fauna through the planting of eco-regional plant species as well as long lived cover and soil building crops. 

We collaborate to grow with neighbors and transform monoculture lawns into thriving ecosystems via food gardens, native meadows, trees and fruit bearing shrubs, and flowering plants. 

We employ seed saving techniques and natural farming methods that conserve water, create diverse and resistent seeds and plants, and allow for self-reliance and resilience.
