Fresh Farm Goodies!

Nearly everything we do is based on old methods—culturable dairy products, original cheese recipes, true smoked meats, forage-based cows, even homemade quilts. This a forage-based beyond-organic and time-tested way of doing things homegrown here on the farm. And best of all, it is truly sustainable. 

The reason we decided to look back and forgo the modern methods of farming is simply because it is better. It is more relaxing to the animals and tends to make a very peaceful farm. The animals tend to stay healthier and the land does not get destroyed like it can in some modern systems. 

Most of all, these methods are easier for us to do than the more intensive systems of feeding and housing several animals under one roof. EVERY farm is different and every farmer is going to use what works best for them. This is simply what we found best for us. 

For the most part, the recipes we follow and methods used are based on pre-WWII information. The breads are slow to rise with freshly milled grains, the sourdough cultures are centuries old. The garden vegetables are mostly heirloom. Some of this does take time to get done, some vegetables need a longer growing season as well as bees to pollinate, but it is all worth the effort.
