Goals, Values, Vision

Natural regenerative farming is our plan  

Cattle are an important part of entire farm ecology 

I work full time in the data and information technology. My wife is fully on board and spends her days planning and researching growing techniques. 

I believe there is power when we align with our creator through natural means of promoting fertility. 

Goal is self sufficiency, through energy food. 

Be a blessing to others through what we do. 

Pursue the abundance of the good true and beautiful in what God provides and in all things.

Farming Plans and Practices

Farming Method

Organic Practices

Researched Korean natural farming and now heading towards regenerative. 

Currently only doing flowers and we have successfully implemented overwintering in our greenhouse last year with great success.
We have 8 12x4 ft raised beds in greenhouse that reflect the best soil quality. 

We are fighting a field in which we did not remove the grass before planting and are into our 3 year fighting weeds. 

We have a fall plan to reset our outdoor field. 

We have a lot to learn. Have had crisis on our little flower farm over the past year. Has been difficult but is the source of great joy. 


Lost our greenhouse due to a storm. Restored it and purchased the wrong plastic for the end walls which we already have to replace. 

We also have small greenhouse in Waterford backyard for starts. 

We are trying to learn through our mistakes and very determined to succeed.
