We haven’t been great about posting updates during the pandemic. Our apologies. While in many ways it feels like life came to a screeching halt in 2020, in many other ways it’s been changing faster than we imagined possible. The pandemic forced decisions and refocused our endeavors all-around, and in the midst of re-configuring to…

Going into year 5, and we can hardly believe it. Watching our farm grow and change is a lot like parenting: the days are long, but the years are short. It’s really something to look back on pictures of previous years and see how far we’ve come. The hard day-to-day labor can be intense at…

We had a great time talking with community members about our CSA on Friday, February 24th at the Rowan County Arts Center. It was a pleasure to share our passion about food with everyone. A huge thank you to all who attended and made that evening possible. We love our community. If you would like…

First of all, thanks to each and every one of you for your support. This year is off to an awesome busy start under our new farm name. We are currently in the rush of sugaring season, boiling our sap down into maple syrup: Keeping up with the wood demand for the boiling process: Looking at…

The Morehead News published an article about our farm today, and we couldn’t be more proud. We were featured in a series about local small businesses called, “Locally and Lovingly Made.” What an accurate title. It sums up so much of what we strive for. Everything we sell is 100% grown and produced by us…

Since the weather has been nice, we have been hard at work. Plowing, planting, weeding, picking, processing, selling, repeat over and over. We planted our fields once the rains slowed down, and they certainly grew! We have waist high corn and green tomatoes galore. It is so fun to see everything we’ve planted taking off…

As most of you may know, we received Kentucky Proud and Appalachia Proud status for our farm. We are very excited to be a part of this program. If you haven’t heard of it, Kentucky Proud is a program that promotes locally grown and locally produced products from right here in the Bluegrass state. As…

Recently, we spent many days inoculating logs to grow shiitake and oyster mushrooms. It was a lot of hard work, especially for Channing who had to harvest the logs from the woods on our farm. For the shiitake mushrooms, he primarily cut sugar maple and white oak logs, and for the oyster tulip poplar logs….
