GRASS-FED    NUTRIENT-DENSE
   
RAISED WITH CARE

MEAT

PASTURED EGGS

Our hens are moved on pasture to forage, scratch and exercise in their mobile coop wagon! They are fed an organic feed with herbs, minerals, and probiotics.
GRASS-FED LAMB

We raise Katahdin hair sheep in our "flerd" of cattle and sheep. The flerd is rotated daily to improve their health, the health of our pastures, and the land around us.
GRASS-FED BEEF

We raise Highland Cattle that excel on an 100% grass/tree diet. They are the soil-improving engines on our pastures as well as our thoughtful, ruminating, farming partners.
PASTURED PORK

Our hogs are raised on pasture and in the woods with an organic feed supplement rich in herbs, minerals, and probiotics. They play and enjoy themselves everyday!

MUSHROOMS

Our forest-grown shiitake mushrooms are cultivated on hardwood logs in our creekside woods. They are an extremely nutritious food with well-documented immune-boosting compounds and anti-bacterial properties. And they taste delicious!

COMING IN 2022

Our diverse 1/2 acre orchard of climate-resilient fruit trees and shrubs, our large homestead garden, and our 5 acre nut tree pasture are just beginning to mature and produce food on the farm. Hazels, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, garlic, sweet potatoes, squash, plums, peaches and maybe an apple or two will be available for sale this coming year. All will be available as extra items through our Meat and Egg CSA or for pickup at our little farm store this year. These permaculture-style plantings incorporate herbs, pollinator habitat, and pasture while producing lots of fruit and improving our soil! The future benefits also include hog food, tree hay, timber, posts, buildings, shade, and for a more beautiful world. And, we have also been busy with woodland restoration projects including invasive species removal with animals, riparian coppice patches for animal fodder, and diversifying our woods with more trees. We aim for all of our plantings to improve the farm ecosystem as well as our wild ecology.
