Grace and Harry’s Happy Hens

I’m a stay-at-home homeschooling mom with a growing passion for homesteading. My husband and I currently grow organic berries and raise laying hens and quail. We’re looking to expand our operation beyond what our property allows by increasing berry production and raising organically fed turkeys for Thanksgiving sales. We believe in preserving farmland for future generations, teaching our children where their food comes from, and building something meaningful to pass down.

Goals, Values, Vision

We lean towards as organic and sustainable as possible. While we don’t come from a farming background this is something that has become increasingly important to us as we see the world around us lose sight of it. I don’t say this to glamorize it, I understand that farming is dirty and hard work, but I think it’s worth it.
