We want to give you the eating experience that connects
you….locally, with your
community, your farmer, and the soil.
With our “heart” in the “land” we are working to produce a “harvest” of the best
quality foods available. We are working hard to develop production models that
eliminate chemicals, drugs, growth hormones, air and water pollution, and
adverse animal housing. We rotationally graze our livestock, moving them
regularly to new pasture where they can roam and feed on fresh bio-diverse,
nutrient-dense vegetation.
We are working on new ways to harvest, store and feed non grazed crops to better
preserve the nutrient density, increase efficiency, protect the environment, and
improve the animal comfort. Livestock feed is supplemented with natural minerals
and vitamins. Ponds and forests are fenced off; and we are working on ways of
composting to reduce waste runoff into water sources. These changes in
agricultural practices combine to produce richer, nutrient dense foods that we
enjoy eating; and it is gratifying to be able to invite you to share in this
experience. In order that this might happen, we are working to bridge the gap
between the producer and consumer through direct marketing approaches (on farm
sales, farmers markets, and buyers clubs). This provides connection for the
consumer to have a relationship with the soil, the food grown from the soil, the
farmer who manages the soil, and produces, harvests, and markets the crops in
the community of which we are all a part. The potential for new economic
incentives resulting from being associated directly with you, the consumer, will
help make it so we can continue on the farm where we want to be --- as stewards
of our Creator in the best interests of mankind.
