  Description

  Hello! We are Todd and Sarah, small-scale homesteaders who believe strongly in the importance of good food, self-sufficiency, sustainability, skill-sharing, constant learning and community! On our 100-acre farm we look after a small flock of sheep, chickens, a sweet Jersey cow named Lottie and our silly dog called Levi. Our practices are ethically and environmentally driven, with the main goal being to improve the health of our land and to grow the best food for our small family. We’d love to have you stay with us!
