Organic Produce

We grow a wide range of fresh heirloom produce and culinary herbs for sale in and around Columbia, Missouri. The farm has been managed according to organic principles since its founding, and we achieved organic certification for our produce in April, 2009. Our goats, geese, and chickens are not certified, but are kept on range and fed a diverse diet.

Diversified Agriculture
We are working to integrate produce, pasture, livestock, fruit, grains, and more into a diversified farm that is environmentally and economically sustainable. We strive to establish closed loops on the farm to minimize waste and maximize the benefit of each aspect of our activities. The farm is now our full-time occupation and we intend it to produce a  viable income for our household.

Quality Local Food
We feel that food quality is inextricably linked to freshness and source, and that the tastiest and healthiest food comes mostly from local producers. We also believe that food security requires a diversified food supply that includes a robust network of local farms buffering the national food system. As a homestead farm, we work to sustain ourselves and our community through the production of  safe, healthy food for ourselves and our customers. All our products are sold at their true value, with no subsidies or hidden costs.

Sustainable Living
We live by the same principles we farm by: sustainable practices, conservation of resources, and support for our local economy. We raise and produce much of our own food, including produce, meat, eggs, and some dairy & grains. We produce very little waste, and manage our land to conserve and efficiently use our resources. We consider the long-term effects of every action we take on the farm.
