Our farm was built the same way most good things are built—with hard work, patience, and a belief that doing things the right way still matters. What started as a piece of land and a desire to work it, has grown into a working farm, a small business, and a place where knowledge, skills, and values are passed from one generation to the next. We are a family-run operation, and everything we do is shaped by that responsibility—to our land, our animals, our customers, and our future. We believe farming isn’t just about producing food. It’s about stewardship, self-reliance, and leaving something better than we found it. Every improvement we make—whether it’s building infrastructure, refining processes, or expanding offerings—is done with long-term sustainability in mind. Our background is rooted in hands-on work, problem-solving, and practical skills. Those same principles guide how we farm and why we’ve chosen to open our gates to others through workshops and educational opportunities. We’ve learned over the years that many people want to reconnect with real skills—how things are grown, built, fixed, and maintained—and we see our farm as a place where that learning can happen in a real-world setting.
As we grow, our goal is simple:
Whether you’re here to shop, learn, or simply see how things are done, we’re glad you found us. This farm is a work in progress—just like anything worth doing—and we’re grateful to have you be part of the journey.
To my wife and family:
Thank you for believing in the vision when it was nothing but trees, tools, and long hours, who believed in our vision even when it was just raw land and long days. Your support, sacrifice, and daily involvement made this farm possible.
To my parents and grandparents:
Whose gardens stood taller than me and whose pride in the harvest planted the first seeds of this dream. You never called yourselves farmers, but your gardens taught me the value of hard work, and the joy found in the fruit of your labor. You planted far more than vegetables — you planted legacy.
To our customers, vendors, and community:
Thank you for showing up, week after week, to support what we’re building. Whether you’ve bought our beef, followed us on social media, or simply asked questions — you’ve helped us grow.
To our partners in trades and tech:
From NRCS to local contractors, solar mentors to greenhouse experts — thank you for sharing your wisdom and lending a hand when it mattered most.
To the folks out there learning, trying, and building:
If something we do helps you take your next step, it was worth it, keep going! And to everyone bold enough to build something with their own two hands, here's to you.
And above all, to the Lord —
for the strength to work, the clarity to plan, and the peace to rest.
