Double K Farms

She did a CSA this year and loves to have families out to visit and see her operation. Educating the young (and old alike!) about choosing healthy, organic, local food is a passion of hers. Instead of a CSA next year, she will sell the items that do best on the farm, namely, fingerling potatoes, garlic, squashes and herbs. Double K Farms also works with a cattle rancher who produces natural, antiobiotic-free, hormone-free, grass pastured, corn-finished beef. The meat is butchered and flash-frozen and available by the pound in Omaha, Nebraska. Liz works with another farmer in the area who raises free-range chickens and their eggs.

Since only about a third of the farm is planted, we enjoy the forest and wildlife on the rest of the farm. We have a feed plot to attract wild birds (especially pheasant and turkey). We are bordered by a creek complete with beavers (and their dam!). And we have a one-acre pond stocked with fish and adorned with countless varieties of dragonflies, frogs, and plant life.

In addition to the farming, we are building a small community of eco-friendly houses on the property in the tradition of a Russian "dacha". In addition to the main cabin, there is a sauna/shower outbuilding, two barns, a compost center, a wood bin, a future art house, a playhouse to be, and gardens, of course. We'd love to show you our little slice of heaven!
