New Green house

This weekend we worked our rears off getting a road filled with rocks (a work in progress) and a greenhouse up. The spring season is coming up with speed now and we will be planting what we call the Faith Garden. We are digging with all our might, but because of the rains we will have to put seeds in a tilled ground with no added dirt or compost. We will plant in faith. We have learned with everything else we have done here, that optomal situaltions are not the only ones that produce good things. So with that in mind we will put our seeds in the new green house in faith that they will grow into healthy plants that will nourish our bodies and delight our souls.
                                       This is when the garden spot first got started being cleared.


                      Manny working hard at getting the brush that had just been cut out of the fenced area.

This is all the stuff that got dragged out.

What it looked like right before we put the hogs in.


What it looks like now. After hogs and boys digging up whatever roots were left.

The green house is placed at the far right hand corner to the garden.

Our Mission

We are a Cooperative Family farm located in the beautiful Sequatchie Valley. Our property is surrounded by the ancient Appalachian mountains and is bordered by the Sequatchie River.

The Goal of this farm is for us to work in synergy with our community and the land. Re-awakening the spirit of our ancestors bringing life into full circle.

Our animals are ranged on the land, eating wild foods and grasses. We supplement their food with vegetables and non-GMO wheat, Milo, barley, and oats. We feed alfalfa, flax and kelp for vitamins and minerals. And do our de-worming with herbs and diatamaceous earth, a natural organism found in the ocean.

Our stock comes from a healthy well-loved environment, are raised in a loving and respectful way and butchered in a non-stressful atmosphere.

We offer free-range pigs, chickens, and rabbits at this time.

We plan to expand our farm over the years to include natural pet food and treats, goat's milk products and fresh vegetables. We want to provide for our customers the ability to come out and meet the animals that they will be buying. We can re-establish a relationship with the food we eat, instead of just getting it from the grocery store.

We hope everyone who comes to our farm will be as blessed as we are by it.
