Vision for the Farm

We raise high quality dairy goats, heirloom produce, heritage hogs and cattle on our property in the Lakeshore appelation of SW Michigan. We are open to various directions that support our local community. We are a diverse farm that is open to expansion into niche markets and value added products. We are renovating a building on the property to serve as a farm store and education center, and we focus on creating videos, books and products that benefit the homesteader, hobby farmer and backyard producer. We are expanding into on-farm education and intend to create a space where other local farms can market their wares, due to the prime location and visibility of our property.

Acreage description

Our farm has a creek cutting it into two pieces. 12 acres of pasture are up front, with rotations on another 9 acres that are mixed woods and meadows. We have a reed canarygrass wetland that is utilized as forage and sustains us through the summer dry spells. We have silvopastures and living willow fences.

Description of the property’s current condition, current use(s), and past use(s)

The homestead sits in the front corner of the property, with the main barn and dry lot pens adjacent, and paddocks radiate out from there. The nearly 100yr old barn is being renovated and a new clearspan is being erected. Fences are being converted to high tensile electric perimeter fence, and the goats are rotated in electric netting. We have a significant amount of reed canarygrass wetlands that benefit us greatly in the dry seasons, and the old drainage ditches are eligible to be redug, allowing us better use of that area in the future. Land clearing is possible on the higher ground in the big woods, and our goat herd utilizes the browse there most of the summer.

Additional Information

We prefer organic (insomuch as possible), permaculture and regenerative farming practices.

Soil Type(s)

We have many different types of land on the farm. Our USDA report will be available for discussion with mutually agreeable parties.
