About the Farm

Background

Providence Farm has cultivated a reputation for its commitment to traditional farming practices and high-quality produce. Known for its pasture-raised livestock and heirloom crops, the farm has steadily expanded its offerings, including the introduction of Gulf Coast Native sheep and a diverse array of poultry. The farm's dedication to heritage breeds and long-keeping staple crops has made it a beloved source of fresh, flavorful food.

Practices

The farm employs a holistic approach to agriculture, focusing on slow-growing heritage breeds of livestock, all raised outdoors in fresh air and sunshine. Cattle and sheep are entirely grass-fed, while poultry is pasture-raised, free-range, and supplemented with non-GMO grains. In the gardens, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides are eschewed in favor of physical pest control, hardy plant varieties, and planting enough to allow for natural losses. The farm is transitioning to a no-till system, utilizing deep mulch, cover crops, and animal impact to maintain soil health and avoid the pitfalls of excessive tillage.

The Rest

The farm's 'big garden' focuses on long-keeping staple crops such as heirloom corn, fingerling potatoes, garlic, shallots, onions, and winter squash. Additionally, the garden produces heirloom green beans, late-season summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, and various root vegetables for fall and winter. The farm's commitment to quality and traditional practices ensures a steady supply of nutritious, flavorful produce and meats for its customers.
