OUR PRACTICES

We work in harmony with nature to nurture the soil, cultivate robust crops, and support long-term ecological balance.

Using only organic inputs like chicken manure, feather meal, kelp meal, and worm castings, we foster biological activity and let beneficial organisms—such as earthworms, mycorrhizal fungi, and pollinators—flourish.

We farm and forage as many of our ingredients as possible right here on the land we call home. For what we don’t personally produce, we thoughtfully source from local or sustainable providers who share our commitment to quality and care, creating foods that are wholesome, honest, and deeply connected to our community and environment.

Our goal has always been to nourish—not just with fresh food, but with ideas and tools that support a healthier relationship with the land and each other. That’s why we created two new resources at our front-porch farm stand: a Refillery and a Zero Waste Library.

We believe everyone in our wonderful Keweenaw community should have access to fresh produce and lovingly handmade artisan foods, regardless of their ability to pay.

We partner with local food pantries and community organizations to share our foods with those in need.

Our chickens are fed an organic diet of wholesome feed, fermented mash, supportive herbs, nourishing supplements, sprouted wheatgrass, and nutritional grubs. Their nesting boxes are thoughtfully lined with hemp and supportive herbs to ensure their comfort and well-being.
