Goals, Values, Vision

We're a family of three (soon to be 4) that is passionate about farming. 

While we have been learning a lot over the past 7 years and have a little bit of experience in a lot of areas, we know we have a lot to learn and allot of valuable experience to gain.

We are generally skeptical of government, anti-big pharma, and pro-small business.

Areas of experience include: basic animal care for cows, poultry, goats, and household animals, foraging and wild plant identification, permaculture design, natural plant breeding, and perennial crops (especially fruits). 

We have a small market-garden style plot that we use to sell small amounts of produce (herbs, tomatoes, vegetables, plants) to our local community. It's practically a hobby farm but we've learned a lot from it!

Farming Plans and Practices

Farming Method

Organic Practices

We believe that God has commanded proper stewardship of the land that he's given us. We believe that permaculture principles, regenerative farming, and restoration agriculture techniques are allways to honor that command and care for the soil.
