We are known for our exceptional care and loving attention given to all our livestock. Their lives on pasture help us achieve our goals of improving soil health which in turn helps rebuild the natural ecosystem of our farm. We have lots of wildlife that call our farm home: owls, hawks, coyotes, foxes, moose, deer, porcupines, skunks, geese, salamanders, frogs & toads! Come learn more about the regenerative farming practices we use!

We are a first generation, mixed family farm focused on regenerative agriculture practices to help improve the overall ecosystem of our farm.
