Wow, can't believe its October already. We made sorghum this past week! Its a sweet local treat....a syrup made from the sorghum cane. Much like a local molasses that can be used in baking or just plain on biscuits. My ancestors here made a lot of sorghum in the past and my Dad has brought this tradition back to our farm. See the extras page to purchase a Pint! The photo above is the cooking pan for raw sorghum juice on the left and cooking off the water until it is finished on the right side of the pan.

About the farm
We are a seventh generation family farm, raising certified organic vegetables for CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and Farmers Markets. We also raise pastured chicken, 100% grassfed beef and offer pastured pork. We raise food with the intention of taking care of the land: growing healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy animals, and healthy people. Since we are a seventh generation family farm, caring for the land and soil for our children and the next seven generations is at the forefront of our farming practices. We nourish the soil with compost from our farm, and other natural ways to bring nutrients and minerals back to the land to improve the health of the soil, land and crops. We work to maintain a balanced, healthy soil to help grow healthy plants and food. We see our farm as part of a larger community-- a network of people who are interdependent with each other. We grow healthy food for our family, friends and community.
