About the Farm

Background

Rooted in the Ozarks, this family farm began with a mission to provide the cleanest food options for their family and community. They quickly realized the challenges of accessing organic feed and partnered with New Country Organics to make high-quality feed more affordable for small farms. Over time, they expanded their offerings to include a variety of pasture-raised meats, eggs, and seasonal produce, all while maintaining a commitment to better-than-organic practices.

Practices

The farm employs rotational grazing and integrates natural food sources like bugs and grass into their animals' diets. They avoid soy in their feed and ensure all feed is organic. In their gardens, they use natural pest management techniques such as companion planting and attracting natural predators like parasitic wasps and birds. Occasionally, they resort to naturally occurring and organic-approved pest control methods, used sparingly and with careful timing to protect beneficial insects and pollinators. Their commitment to regenerative farming is evident in their soil care and the holistic use of their animals and plants.

The Rest

In addition to their farm products, they offer herbal skincare items made from their pasture-raised pigs and garden herbs. They also recycle feed bags into reusable totes and encourage sustainable practices. The farm store features creations by the family's children, fostering entrepreneurial spirit. Limited quantities of products are available, and customers must contact the farm prior to pick-up. The farm's philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of health, food, and the environment, striving to give more to the land than they take.
