About the Farm
Background
Generations of farming have shaped this family farm, rooted in faith and southern traditions. The farm's story is intertwined with the legacy of a matriarch who taught the family the art of preserving the bounty of the seasons and the importance of hard work and hospitality. The farm continues to honor her memory through their dedication to farming and community.
Practices
The farm employs a method called plasticulture, which involves raised beds covered with plastic to enhance water absorption, reduce weed growth, and minimize water waste. Each plant is started from seed in greenhouses and transplanted to the fields when ready. This meticulous process ensures healthy growth and high yields. The farm also uses drip irrigation to deliver water directly to the roots, further optimizing resource use.
The Rest
In addition to fresh produce, the farm offers canning classes, all-natural skincare products, and soy candles. They also provide convenient produce baskets delivered to homes or offices, and operate an on-site farm store. The farm's certified commercial canning kitchen produces a variety of sweet jams, pepper jellies, and pickled vegetables.
