We are a fourth-generation family farm outside of North Manchester, Indiana. We rotate cattle, hogs, poultry, field crops, and produce around our 99-acres using a whole-systems approach, and market our products through Community Supported Agriculture, an online store, and to restaurants. The farm also hosts weekly Fridays on the Farm pizza nights during the summer, which feature artisan pizzas made with locally-sourced ingredients and baked in an outdoor, wood-fired brick oven.

We use the health and wholeness of soils, waters, plants, animals, and people as the standard by which we farm. In practice, this means we grow our crops without the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides. Our animals are raised outdoors on pasture without subtherapeutic doses of pharmaceuticals, and our hogs and chickens are given a non-GMO feed ration that we mix on the farm.

While our farming could be called natural, biological, agroecological, or regenerative, due to the fact that we have chosen not to pursue USDA certification, we cannot legally call it “organic.” Instead, we opt to be "customer certified" (to borrow a phrase from Virginia farmer Joel Salatin). This means that our CSA members are always able to contact us with questions or visit the farm to see for themselves how their food is raised. In fact, we encourage it by hosting weekly pizza nights in the summer and occasional work parties. One of the reasons we love CSA is that it gives us the opportunity to see members face-to-face, during which we’re more than happy to talk your ear off about soil health, cover cropping, minimum tillage techniques, crop rotations, raising animals on pasture, and other practices we use.
