Summer veggies (or fruits, rather) are something special here in Kentucky. They’re here and gone in a flash, and we savor every moment while they’re at the peak of freshness. At the top of our list: heirloom tomatoes! Allow us to wax poetic briefly here; there’s just a certain kind of magic you can’t replicate […]
As of last week, Sweet Corn is here! Few summer staples bring us as much joy as fresh sweet corn on the cob. But the perfect ear is not an easy thing to achieve, especially when growing it organically. Corn is biologically tricky to grow and make look good. In the U.S., corn is in […]
Trips to the local rock quarry always come with some degree of trepidation and exhilaration. After all, this IS where the big dogs run in packs. As if I weren’t self-conscious enough in my red one-ton dually flatbed for these trips with a little 16’ tagalong trailer, this particular trip had me in a tan […]

No matter how busy we are coaxing vegetables out of the ground and nurturing animals we try to donate our time and energy for the collective betterment of society. Our cause will be no surprise to you: the value of organic foods to the health of humans and of Mother Earth. This time of the […]

It feels like fall’s only just begun and it’s already time to talk turkey! Pre-orders for our organic and pasture-raised heritage and broad-breasted turkeys are now open for all your upcoming holiday celebrations.
