Integrated Farming Practices
"Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; but increase comes by the strength of an ox." Proverbs 14:4
We have a diverse and interconnected agricultural system that harmoniously combines different species and components to achieve multiple benefits, including increased productivity, environmental sustainability, and resilience to external challenges. You'll find a vibrant, mixed species farm beaming with life.
​
At our farm, we truly embrace a hands-on approach and place great value on the time we invest in caring for our animals. It's not just about the products we produce; it's about the sheer joy we find in the work itself, the genuine care we provide, and the profound impact it has on our mental and physical well-being. We aim to blend the best of our ancestors' farming practices with our modern-day knowledge and expertise, creating a holistic presence that encompasses the entire farm.
