About Us

In the summer of 2015, we bought a run down but beautiful farm with the dream of turning it into our self-sufficient homestead and working farm. Our goal was to grow real, honestly grown food and share this bounty with our neighbors in our town and the surrounding area. For seven years, we grew vegetables and raised chickens for eggs that we sold at our local farmers market and nearby stores. We raised chickens and turkeys for ourselves and our neighbors. All this was done while Scott worked full time off farm and we worked improve our neglected land and house with various projects.

We grow using the best of organic practices but also go beyond that by building soil, tending to the farm environment as a whole to encourage biodiversity and reduce the need for chemical interventions. Call it regenerative or permaculture or a mix of many labels, the important point is we have always tried to grow our food in the healthiest way possible. We have also used our platform as farmers to spread the word about the importance of soil health and food system diversity to anyone who will listen.

Our poultry is raised 100% on pasture in the warmer months, where they can run around in the sunshine, spread their wings, and eat bugs and plants. In the winter, our layers have a hoop house to shelter in out of the weather but can still go outside in the pasture if they choose. They are fed organic feed (soy-free for the layers) from Green Mountain Feeds in Vermont. We process all our meat birds humanely here on the farm.

Ten years into this farming journey, we have turned our focus away from the relentless work of growing products for market in order to give our aging bodies a break. We still grow lots of food for ourselves, sell eggs and honey, and plan to share some of our growing space with our neighbors who also wish to grow more of their own food. Growing real food and encouraging others to support food system resiliency and diversification remains an important part of our farm. We will have more time to focus on finishing our Wish List of projects to make this farm and homestead a beautiful, bountiful special place we adore. Watch us as we grow into the future.
