Established in 2005, we are a small, family-owned farm. We started this venture to create an economically and ecologically self-sustaining homestead that provides an ongoing connection to the land for ourselves, our families and our guests.

We raise high quality, chemical-free vegetables, herbs, chickens (eggs) and bees (honey & wax) which are sold through the Des Moines Farmers Market and our CSA. Homemade products include jam & jelly and herb syrups (using fruits/herbs grown on our family land), and hand-spun yarn.
