About
Located in South Central Allegan County, we farm 36 acres. Most of it is pasture for our flock of sheep, cattle, and poultry. We have wetlands, woods, and a traditional farmstead with barns, house and fiber studio. We utilize a couple of passive solar hoop house for season extension. About an acre is used for vegetable growing with perennials and permaculture crops tucked into appropriate nooks and spots. It has taken several years for us to regenerate this farm, benefiting from composting and cover cropping. Animals on the land have been an equal positive as they magnify the cycling of nutrients and regenerating abused land. Our efforts have made our farm resilient and productive.
