About the farm

Here is where you will find a description of the farm.

And some photos of the residents- the plants – the animals-the people.

This is a family farm in northern Alabama at the south end of Morgan County.

We are a USDA certified organic farm and have been for several years. It does require a little more careful recordkeeping but that actually helps us maintain focus on our yearly progress. Though we are not required to submit an annual report to a Board of Directors, assembling the certification report takes us through many of the same kinds of steps we would need to address in such an annual report.

So it helps us pay attention to things even when we are hurrying through the daily demands of a small farm.

Actually, if you are thinking of going the path of getting certified, you can contact us and one of us can help you through the process. Consulting is a sideline business to help pay the bills when the bugs eat the crops!

The farm has a healthy spring fed pond with all sorts of fish and wildlife enriching it, including snapping turtles and water moccasins.   There is a wetlands area where many migrating birds are seen. Thanks to the local Audubon society a good record of birds is being kept.

We also have a section of the farm set up as part of a conservation plan with the US Soil and Water Conservation District to restore a forested area where there is fallow field.

More to follow, on another day.
