About the Farm

Background

Justafew Acres has a rich history of producing an abundance of high-quality food for their seasonal farm stand, selling vegetables, herbs, handmade crafts, and green alternatives. The farm is also known for its diverse array of animals, including chickens, horses, potbelly pigs, and a Jersey dairy cow. The farm's practices and philosophy are heavily influenced by Donna O'Shaughnessy from South Pork Ranch, where the farm's owner interned and learned about raw milk laws and farming techniques.

Practices

The farm employs traditional farming methods, avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Instead, they rely on hard work and natural solutions to maintain the health of their crops and animals. The interconnectedness of their farming practices is evident in their dedication to animal welfare, as seen in their care for animals like Lamby, a lamb they bottle-fed after its mother could not provide for it.

The Rest

Justafew Acres offers farm tours, workshops, and summer events, providing an educational and engaging experience for visitors. The farm also embraces natural solutions beyond agriculture, such as using almond oil for facial cleansing, highlighting their commitment to holistic and sustainable living.
