A working demonstration of complete food sovereignty. Learn from our quail operation, rabbit colony, aquaponics systems, and extensive heirloom gardens.
We go beyond "sustainable" – our practices actively improve the land, build soil, sequester carbon, and increase biodiversity. Every element of our farm contributes to the health of the whole system.
Our farm serves as a living classroom. Everything we do is designed to be teachable, replicable, and scalable – from backyard operations to larger homesteads.
Explore the different elements of our integrated farm system.
1.5 acres of intensive growing space
Our gardens showcase regenerative techniques including companion planting, succession planting, and natural pest management. We maintain over 200 heirloom varieties and save seeds from the best performers.
Current focus: Developing climate-adapted varieties through seed selection
200+ birds producing 150-180 eggs daily
Our quail are raised in colony-style housing that allows natural behaviors while maintaining biosecurity. Fed a custom formulated diet with kitchen scraps and garden surplus.
PMA Member Access: Fresh eggs and processed meat available exclusively to members
30 breeding rabbits in colony and tractor systems
Grass-fed rabbits managed in both permanent colonies and mobile tractors. Our rabbits contribute significantly to soil fertility through their exceptional manure.
PMA Member Access: Grass-fed rabbit meat and breeding stock available to members
2,000 gallons across multiple system designs
Our aquaponics systems demonstrate both small-scale apartment setups and larger production systems. Perfect closed-loop integration of fish and plants.
PMA Member Access: Fresh tilapia and aquaponically-grown greens available to members
Why we can't sell fresh animal products directly to the public – and the solution that preserves your food freedom.
Current regulations make it financially impossible for small-scale farmers to sell fresh animal products (eggs, meat, fish) directly to consumers through public commerce:
Result: Small farms are pushed out of the market, reducing consumer access to local, quality food.
A Private Membership Association (PMA) creates a legal framework for direct farmer-consumer relationships outside of public commerce regulations:
Result: You get access to fresh, local, ethically-raised animal products while supporting small-scale regenerative agriculture.
Learn About PMA MembershipWhile we operate outside commercial regulations, we maintain the highest standards of animal welfare, biosecurity, and food safety. Our PMA members have full transparency into our practices and are welcome to visit the farm anytime.
