About Our Growing Methods
Our farm is Certified Naturally Grown! This means we are inspected by other farms and certified as using organic-style and ecological practices.
We pride ourselves on raising happy animals and high-quality products while working in partnership with the land and ecosystem around us. By implementing a rotational grazing system, we are giving back to the soil and land, and we are actively rejuvenating our pasture that has been under an extractive haying system for almost a decade.
All of our products are available for indvidual or wholesale purchase directly through us, A Common Pasture, or the Kalamazoo Valley Food Hub. Through these partnerships, we are able to scale-up our production in a sustainable manner and still serve our broader Southwest, Michigan community.
The Sheep
We are building a dual-purpose flock (meat and wool) and have invested in a couple different breeds based on their size, temperament and/or their drought and parasite-resistance . We have raw wool, meat, and are working toward a stock of sheep pelts.
The Pigs
Our matriarchs, Duchess and Berliose are Hereford-crosses. They are lazy and fat and love getting belly scratches and eating pears.
The Goats
We never intended to have goats, but we acquired our Nubian, Daisy, and fell in love. They keep down the poison ivy on the farm and they are available for snuggles and yoga
The Rhubarb
When we purchased the property, we inherited the local, community rhubarb patch that has been around for decades! We are honored to continue the tradition!
