We are a small family farm practicing
sustainable agriculture. We are committed to protecting the health of the entire ecosystem of which we are a small part.  We approach all of our actions with a humble respect for the delicate balance of nature around us.

Our farm sits on 47 acres of diverse land nestled in the lush rolling hills of Southwest Michigan.  We are cultivating about 5 flat acres of sandy soil for vegetable production.  Nearby is a small shallow pond that is the perennial home to a family of Mallard ducks as well many frogs, insects, and migrating animals.

Hiking trails meander through 25 acres of mixed forestland that includes thriving populations of oak, maple, cherry, beech, and ash.  The forest and the property ends at the edge of an enormous swamp which is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife and a favorite sto
pping place of vast flocks of migrating birds.

The remaining 15 acres of our farm is mostly hilly hay fields planted with perennial grasses and legumes.  These fields are mostly too steep for annual tillage so we plan to slowly convert many of them to orchard land as a way of increasing our production while preventing degradation of the topsoil.

Our newest addition to the farm is a 40x40 greenhouse built with the existing frame of our old barn extension. This will provide us with an excellent space to produce healthy transplants for the garden.  We expect to get a much earlier and larger crop of many heat loving plants (e.g. tomatoes, peppers, etc.)
and to be able to produce them later into the fall.

We were immediately drawn in by the beauty and diversity of the land for which we are caretakers.  We are blessed to live amongst such abundance and are thankful for the opportunity to contribute to the long term health of this place.
