About the Farm
Background
Located in Harrisville, Michigan, Quaker Farm has been producing high-quality seasonal farm products since 1985 and is an integral part of Alcona County's low-impact sustainable agricultural community. Featured on Animal Planet, the farm is also known for its therapy Collie dogs and children's stories about farm life.
Practices
Quaker Farm employs ethical and holistic farming practices, raising heritage breed livestock and heirloom variety produce as part of their commitment to stewardship. They focus on the conservation of rare breeds and provide educational information to visitors. Their farming methods emphasize chemical and hormone-free production, pasture-raising their animals, and maintaining a harmonious relationship with the land.
The Rest
Quaker Farm offers a variety of educational opportunities, including lectures, workshops, and classes on sustainable living and historical arts skills. They also provide online videos and articles on homesteading topics. The farm is a host site for the Alcona County Quilt Trail Project, featuring a quilt block commemorating the Underground Railroad. Additionally, the farm's kitchen, Quaker Kitchen, offers free recipes and cooking classes. Their Earth Day video highlights the importance of sustainable living choices in relation to climate change.
