“We learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of our time: how much is enough?” - Wendell Berry
It is not by chance that we are farming. We’ve met many inspiring people on the winding path that has led us to this agrarian life. Artists, farmers, organizations, philosophers, and others continue to guide us in our quest for meaning.
Each day we learn and find ourselves one step closer to understanding our purpose. Farming is our passion and our response to our deeply troubled times.
The health of our soils is our business. Food for the soil comes from rich compost, animal manures and plant material. What is taken from the soil, in the form of food for people and animals, must be given back threefold or more! To be sustainable, we must produce more than we consume on this farm.
Soil health is the key to solving many social, economic and environmental problems. The materialism of today has severed the connection between soil and the people that it feeds. Industrialized farming has resulted in dead soils that depend on toxic petrochemicals in order to produce “food”. We need to give life to the soil in order to bring health to our bodies.
As farmers, we are stewards to the land. When we feed the soil we are able to feed ourselves and our community.
Real food.
Living soil.
