We started farming nine years ago because my wife and I wanted to make sure that we were eating the best possible food available. At the time, one of our children was struggling with severe eczema and it seemed that every physician we saw was only prescribing medicine to alleviate the symptoms but not the cause of her illness. After extensively researching alternative treatments, and learning about the food system, we decided to start growing our own produce and raising our own meat free of additives, chemicals, hormones, synthetic fertilizers, etcetera. Our agricultural practices are based on building healthy soils that would in turn yield nutritionally-dense food. By adopting these practices our health increased exponentially. Our daughter overcame her eczema and some other allergies she was also struggling with at the time. We strive to grow top-quality produce. You may rest assured that not a drop of chemicals has been sprayed on your food or injected in the soil that grows it. You may also be confident that your produce has been harvested within 24 hour of delivery, which renders not only fresh food but also a higher nutritional value.
About the farm
We are a small family farm located in Grottoes, Virginia, serving the city of Harrisonburg and the counties of Rockingham, Augusta, and Greene. We produce high-quality food using sustainable practices and ethical principles of care for the common good. Having witnessed the healing power of good food in dealing with family health issues, we started farming in 2015 in an effort to sharing with others the benefits of fresh, nutritionally-dense food, grown in a clean environment, using integrative agricultural methods. We believe that in order for food to be healthful, the environment in which it grows has to be healthy. To that end, we integrate animal and plant systems in ways that, in their natural interactions, they create an ecological balance leading to abundance and quality.
We grow over 50 different vegetable crops, perennial vegetables and fruits, and raise pastured pork, as well as ducks and chickens, for meat and eggs.
