We are a family farm. And a place for solitude. And a refuge for welcomeness. Yeah, we said it…we’re welcoming loners…

Our Mission

Farming that gives a ... hoot. We have done a lot of things and all of them were whole hearted. Some of them worked. Some of them didn’t. But we haven’t stopped…and we have no intention of stopping.

Our farm sits on 47 acres of diverse land nestled in the lush rolling hills of Southwest Michigan. We cultivate some of the sandy soil for vegetable production. Hiking trails meander through 25 acres of mixed forestland that includes thriving populations of oak, maple, cherry, beech, and ash. The forest and the property ends at the edge of an enormous swamp which is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife and a favorite stopping place of vast flocks of migrating birds.

The remaining 10 acres of our farm is mostly hilly hay fields planted with perennial grasses and legumes.  These fields are too steep for annual tillage so we plan to slowly convert many of them to orchard land as a way of increasing our production while preventing degradation of the topsoil.

We were immediately drawn in by the beauty and diversity of the land for which we are caretakers. We are blessed to live amongst such abundance and are thankful for the opportunity to contribute to the long term health of this place.

Indigenous nations of the Great Lakes region are also known as the Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-nah-bay), or original people, and their language is Anishinaabemowin (Ah-nish-nah-bay-mow-in). We acknowledge the enduring relationship that exists between the People of the Three Fires and this land.
