Our family loves to farm! Especially old school farming. Pre-WWII style. Long before the advent of petroleum and chemical fertilizers, fertility was driven by rotating animals on land, compost, and working with nature instead of against her.
Rather than depleting and mining the soil of nutrients, soil quality was built up. We aim to do the same.
