Great Guest Workers Staying At The Farm

We have a really great group of guest workers currently helping us at the farm.

These fine folks have come to us through the help of the WWOOF (world wide opportunities on organic farms) program which links up folks who want to learn organic farming skills with host farms.

We were on a day off field trip recently and snapped this shot in front of a local area attraction.

From left to right are: Emma, Skyler, Gail and Stewart

We really appreciate all of you!

Garlic Planting Party October 19th, 2013

Come join the fun and learn about this amazing plant!
Please see "upcoming events" in pages section for all the details.

Please help support this very worthy organization.

We are members of this organization because we believe in the right of small family farmers/ranchers to have a choice in what and how they grow/raise the food they sell and also in the right of consumers to be free to choose the foods of their choice without undue Government regulation.
Current and upcoming Gov. regulations are severely regulating what we can do on our farm and your choices of the foods you eat!
At this pace we may loose a lot more small farms/ranches without this type of advocacy.
This organization is standing up for the rights of farmers/ranchers and consumers alike.
Please consider becoming a member of this fine organization.

When is a "weed" a weed?

We have heard that our farm is "weedy".

The next person that comes along says our farm is beautiful!

A weed is only in the eye of the beholder and since we grow organically we have beautiful "weeds" (some of which have medicinal properties and are good to eat) growing along with our beautiful veggies!

Life always finds a way, we like it that way!

Jim shelling dent corn (the old fashion way) on a winters Sunday.

We have been growing dent corn the past three years so that we can make our own corn meal. It is a lot of work from start to finish but with most of the corn in the USA being genetically modified now, growing and processing it yourself is well worth the effort.
