About
Joel & Megan
We’re a husband & wife team who started our farm in 2018, although Joel has been farming his entire life. We built our farmhouse ourselves and live on family property that was established in the early 1900’s, and are the 6th generation to steward this beautiful property, but the first generation to farm with organic practices.
You can see every animal, vegetable and flower being raised and grown by hand here on our farm in Avella, PA. We are honored to provide “food you trust, from people you know.”
Our Why
We began growing our own food because we didn’t trust the food that commercial America was selling us. In conventional agriculture, meat is produced en masse, crammed into tight spaces, and fed the cheapest feed that’s full of drugs in order to combat the poor living conditions.
We shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not our food is making us sick. Real food heals and nourishes.
Our How
We raise organically-minded vegetables, and pastured pork, pastured chicken, pastured eggs. Our animals are rotated through clean pastures, allowing time for the fields to regenerate and sanitize with the sun.
Our animals are raised outdoors, full-time on pasture (not jammed into crowded housing and/or concrete floors).
Unlike conventional “organic,” our pigs root and dig, and chickens scratch. They both eat bugs & grass, and help build our soil with their manure.
Our animals are processed at our hand-selected USDA facilities and are never sent through a chlorine bath.
Our flowers and vegetables are sown with organic and/or heirloom seed as much as possible. They’re never sprayed with synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or preservatives.
We are fearlessly married to providing unadulterated and clean, wholesome food that can’t be found anywhere else but the farm.
Simply put, we do what’s best for the animals, the environment, and our health. We have our babies in slings and older kids right beside us, learning what we do. We don’t cut corners, and our practices are safe for our family and yours.
We would be humbled and honored to feed you, your children and loved ones.
