About Us
Hello, Friends!
We are a middle-aged husband and wife team who grew up loving nature. I'm Jennifer and I got my love of the rural setting from my aunt and uncle's farm in Hart County and with whom were spent most summers in my younger years. My husband, Bob, has fond memories of his great-grandparents, Ellis and Hannah Belle (Burkhart) Anderson's farm located off Fern Creek Road in Fern Creek, KY, and great uncle and aunt, Earl and Ruth Jane Hornbeck who farmed the old Hornbeck farm off Seatonville Rd in Fern Creek, KY.
In the late 1990s ...
... we finally found the piece of mostly wooded property we had dreamt of. As time went by we ending up with 40 acres. Sadly, the Emerald Ash Bore had changed our property's look forever, as 90% of the trees here were Ash.
So, after many years in self-employed roofing contracting, we decided to give farming a try. We researched different breeds of animals and chose heritage breeds as the way to go, helping to preserve old breeds that tend to need less input from the farmer. They may not grow as fast, but produce wonderfully and have healthier qualities. We wanted our animals to live the most natural lives possible, and heritage breeds have proven to be perfect for that. NO feed lots here!
We started out ...
... with two heritage Galloway heifers and 8 heritage Ancona Chickens. We have since added 5 full-blooded Galloway cows and one full-blooded Galloway bull, 46 heritage chickens, and 5 heritage Berkshire pigs. Our Galloway cattle are 100% grass fed with no antibiotics, growth hormones or steroids. Chickens and pigs forage during the day and are supplemented with NON-GMO feed from a local mill. We do not give them antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids. They are raised on land that is pesticide- and herbicide-free.
What drives us ...
... is providing our family and customers with a healthy and tasty product that they can feel good about eating. When time allows, we make wood crafts from trees here on the farm.
Life is NEVER boring on the farm!
