We Teach, We Nurture,
We Connect with You.

COME AND JOIN US! We love to share our knowledge with the community. And most of it will surprise you that it even existed. We offer both educational classes and activities for all age groups.

You will also find important farm info like chicken order dates and inventory refill dates.

• Traveling Markets

  We travel to sell and speak at special events like The Wild One's Conference in Oshkosh in January, Winchester Fall Art & Farm Market in September, Fremont Library Christmas Basket Sale in November, and more events that match up for us. We always carry a small amount of meat with us, but the best is to pre-order what you would like. We bring an excellent selection of handmade herbals to every event and Erika can often be found giving out herbal advice and lots of healing smiles. No regular farmers markets at this time.

• Personal Farm Tours

  Small group/family entertainment & education tours can be ordered on our farm store page. The price can be deducted from product purchases. We are NOT a petting farm. Children must be in hand.

• Powerpoint presentation or old fashioned talks

  Off-farm at your location, library, school group, or conference. We offer a wide variety of talks and hands-on experience classes. Our topics include farming, raising animals for nutritional health, environmental protection & food production, alternative health, homemade herbals for wellness, and moving meditation. Talks usually only require travel cost for one time events. On location: libraries, schools, girl scouts etc. Have us come to your location for powerpoint talks about many different aspects of farming, environmental protection, and more.
