Our Mission

We are a cooperative group of farmers dedicated to agricultural practices that sustain a healthy environment and build a diverse local food system. Our goal is to provide sustainably raised vegetables and free range meats to our community. To achieve this without the use of chemicals, we use biodiversity, cover crops, soil ammendments, and rotational grazing. The chickens and pork are pasture raised. The beef, veal, and lamb are completely grass-fed and all without any antibiotics or hormones! The vegetables are grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In everything we grow, we are passionate about doing our best, being our best, and giving our best to you and your family.

  1. Hooray! I just learned about this project from Christy and can't wait to hear how things go this first year. I wish we had something like this in DC! Maybe I'll need to come back through your area to do more research (and cooking, heheh) to learn how we might develop something similar here....
