People have become disconnected from their food.

They don’t know where their food is coming from and this can leave them feeling unsure about what is safe to feed their families.

People don’t know what real food tastes like.

Carrots are suppose to be sweet. (The bagged “baby” carrots in the store do NOT taste like carrots!) Tomatoes are suppose to be juicy. You deserve to eat food that tastes good!

That is why we are here.

As parents we understand how hard it is to know what to feed your family.

Our mission to provide you with high quality, good tasting food that you feel good about taking home to your family.

Stop by and see us soon, we look forward to meeting you!

Our family proudly farms 153 acres of produce, utilizing greenhouses and cold storage to extend our growing season and ensure fresh produce is available year-round.

You can find our produce at local farmers markets, several area restaurants, and through our year-round CSA program. Additionally, our farm market is open year-round, right here on the farm.

Farming is more than a job for us; it’s a way of life and a passion. We cherish planting, nurturing, and harvesting our crops, and sharing them with our community.

Thank you for supporting our farm and family!
