Our Farm
Our Farm is For You
Only Heirloom Varieties
Our seeds have a history, chosen for generations for their beauty, flavor, and natural pest and disease resistance.
No Soy, No GMO Feed
Our chickens love their high-quality feed! It includes flax, whole grains and seeds, but no soy and no GMO grains.
Animals Raised Outdoors
Fresh air and sunshine for everyone at our farm!
No Antibiotics or Hormones
Clean meat and eggs, just like the old days.
Building Soil Health
We do all we can to make nutrients available to the crops by adding probiotics for the beneficial soil microbes and by keeping tilling to a minimum.
Row Covers
Covering crops at critical times helps keep pests away without using chemicals.
Chemical-Free
No conventional pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Beneficial Insects
We create and maintain habitat for predatory insect helpers.
What We Grow
Vegetables
We grow over 70 heirloom varieties of vegetables, herbs, and melons for our members throughout the season.
Chicken
We raise our meat chickens on pasture, regularly moving them to fresh grass in mobile chicken coops. The coops have no floor, so the birds have constant access to the grass and insects they love to eat. The coops provide protection from predators while allowing access to fresh air. Our supplemental feed is unmedicated, soy-free and non-GMO, but not certified organic.
Eggs
Our hens are pasture-raised (free-range within a large fenced area with shrubs, grass, weeds, and insects). Supplemental feed is non-GMO, unmedicated, and soy-free. Flax seed is included in the supplemental feed to boost omega-3’s. Eggs are unwashed and unrefrigerated.

Farmer Lori's Kitchen Notes
One of the best rewards of farming is getting to eat a meal like this. The green beans, lamb, and potatoes were all raised on our farm.

Farmer Matthew's Field Notes
I am so grateful for how God has provided for the farm this year even with drought that we have been experiencing. The amount of each crop we have available and the number of different of varieties of crops we have available this year is truly remarkable.
