The Wild Way Out is a completely different approach to agriculture and medicine in south central Michigan. We focus on unusual, heirloom and wild produce that has been grown and harvested in the most healthful way possible. Kate believes that many health problems can be associated with no longer consuming foods that have sustained our species for most of our existence. To paraphrase Euell Gibbons, these foods may be medicine but I prefer to eat my medicine.

We raise everything here for our personal use first, so it's of the highest quality :-) We keep healthy honey bees (for beeswax and raw honey) with no chemicals, and pastured beef cattle, as well as katahdin & crossbred heritage breed meat sheep, free range hens for eggs, and pasture raised/range fed broiler chickens. We have heirloom garlic available in the late summer.

The Reluctant Farmer is a small family owned farm located in beautiful Salisbury, MA. We strive to continue the tradition of heirloom tomatoes and vegetables. Plants are on sale spring through mid summer. By 2009 all of our vegetable plants will be sold in "cowpots", pots manufactured out of cow manure. Not only will they help us do away with plastic pots, they will help add nutrients to your soil. Reducing your need for fertilizer. One more way we are doing our part.
