Our Story
We have a passion for environmental sustainability, for ethically-raised food and livestock, for living lightly and locally. Solar power, rainwater catchment, composting, rotational grazing, diversification, nutrient cycling, reducing, reusing, recycling, repurposing and soil regeneration are hallmarks here.

Our products
Once, we raised thousands of organic chickens, turkeys, and sheep on lush, diverse, untreated, regenerative pastures. Veggies came from our no-till gardens tended with organic, regenerative processes and our deli sold farm to table prepared food. Mimicking ecological processes and protecting the natural diversity of our farm afforded an excellent quality of life that’s reflected in the Shetland fleece, fiber, yarn and hand knits we carry from our flock.
“Let’s save the world one earthworm at a time. Let’s pull carbon out of the atmosphere and turn it into life-giving soil. Let’s build food sovereignty and community health. Let’s create local economies. Let’s make a good living working intimately with one another and the earth”.
