Philosophy

We draw from sustainability, biodynamics, and regenerative design in order to collaborate with nature. We compost, build our soil, practice slow agriculture, grow native and forgotten plants, maintain a larder, raise animals, and countless other activities that contribute to the health of the systems and cycles on a farm. We envision the farm as ecosystem, as ambit, as a dinner party, as meditation and medicine, as a place for a different way of life.

Our products speak for themselves, because they also speak for the environment in which they were raised -- happy and healthy.

We hope to reconnect people to the earth, to good food, and to supportive communities.
