About the Farm
Background
Transplants from the Arizona deserts, the farmers began their commercial farming journey in 2013 in Southern Illinois with a small fruit and vegetable CSA, homemade goat milk soaps, and USDA licensed poultry eggs.
Practices
The farm integrates various livestock such as dairy goats, a Jersey cow, Katadhin hair sheep, heritage turkeys, ducks, and chickens, ensuring that all elements coexist and complement each other. This interconnected approach emphasizes the importance of farming to feed families and supports the community by avoiding mass-scale production with less ideal conditions.
The Rest
The farm's philosophy underscores the connection between farming, food, and community, highlighting the mutual investment between the farmers and the families they serve.
