Sustainable FarmingWe have never and will never use synthetic chemicals or additives on our farm. Instead crop rotation, companion planting, and composting are the methods we utilize to reduce weeds and pests and promote healthy soil and plant nutrition.
Free-range EggsOur chickens have free range over the entire farm (except for the fenced garden area in the spring through the fall). They spend their days in the sun scratching contentedly in the dirt, looking for bugs, grubs and seeds. Every day is an Easter egg hunt in the early spring when they first start laying again until they determine that the best place is indeed in the coop nest boxes.

Buy LocalAccording to Worldwatch Institute, the average plate of food on an American table has traveled 1500 miles before being eaten. There are many negative environmental impacts of concern with food traveling this far before reaching your plate. Our farm is located exactly 10 miles from downtown Richmond and we strive to grow only heirloom, heritage and perennial products so even our seeds come from the farm.
Pastured Dairy Shares (upcoming)In 2017, we plan to offer shares of our dairy goats. More information to come.
