Meet the Land

We fell in love with our Land after 5 years of searching. We actually visited our land and made an offer on the original entire farmstead in 2012 but were denied a loan. Then in 2016, we heard it was still for sale and made an offer on just half: a perfect 45 acre blend of wild woodland and 15 acres of tillable, ready-for-organic-certification, and without any buildings or infrastructure.

In 2016, we erected the old pack shed and my tiny greenhouse and we built our farmhouse and the high tunnel in 2017. In 2018 and 2019, we took a break from building and we had our first child. In 2020, we took down the old pack shed and built a new barn. It has everything we needed but were missing to bring us out of the “dark ages” of farming like concrete floors, a covered lean to for washing and packing, and three different cold rooms set to 3 different temperatures for crops. We also packed the barn roof with 48 solar panels which covers our entire farm and home electricity usage. In 2021, we took down our old, rickety, leaky, too-small greenhouse and built a new geothermal, passive solar, near-net-zero carbon emissions greenhouse. This state of the art greenhouse is 4 times larger than our old one, infinitely more efficient and allows us to grow year round.
