Our Story

 Never did we imagine starting a farm!  Our journey began in 2013, when one of our children was diagnosed with food allergies. In an effort to eliminate these products from her diet, we began scrutinizing ingredient lists. While looking for the long list of synonyms for these products in our food, we questioned the other unknown ingredients.  The questioning led to reading, and reading to researching, and researching to action. It was clear we needed to get rid of these food-like products. It wasn't a full pantry overhaul at once though, it was one product at a time.  

In 2016, we were given a few laying hens. This is where the slope became very slippery for us.  A few hens led to moving to a larger property (1.25 acres).  Those few hens turned to ten. Since we were already in the chicken world, we decided to try to raise some for meat. In November of 2018 we ate the first full meal grown exclusively on our property. We were all in.

Soon, permaculture and regenerative farming were our main topics of conversation. It was logical and smart and made sense. It is our Creator’s design!  In a few short years, our little homestead in South FL included chickens, turkeys, pigs, a vegetable garden and a tropical food forest. We also began selling eggs and meat to friends and found ourselves often sold out. Finding a larger property became a desire and we expanded our search out of the state of Florida.  Now in Alabama, we are taking what we learned on our small plot of land and applying it to larger acreage.  We are using livestock to build the soil.  Healthy soil produces nutrient dense plants and animals.  Nutrient dense animals and animal products help maintain well functioning human bodies.  What we put in our bodies matters. Not only can we taste the difference, our bodies feel the difference.
