What an awesome crew we have! They are attentive, reliable, eager to learn, and really fun to work with. Jacob, Lizzy, Taylor, Tobin, and Mattias are the core of our operation. There are many steps involved in growing your food and these folks do everything on the farm from planting, weeding, harvesting, conditioning, packing to delivering. But that's not all. They also help with chicken processing and you often see them filling in at Greene Farmer's Market. All in all, we are blessed with our farm crew. If you ever bump into any of these people, please thank them for their hard work.

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.
