About us

Striving to provide the healthiest & tastiest produce possible to our customers.

About us
We, as avowed city folk, rather haphazzardly decided to start a farm in 2017 because we "had some time to kill & wanted to grow some stuff". Since then, we have gotten reasonably good at growing things; so now we strive every day to have fun & grow a sustainable farming business that provides the local community with healthy options. It gives us great satisfaction that everything happens on the farm, starting from quality seed and finishing with the harvested produce, all done naturally, sustainably & with our hands right here in Claremont, North Carolina. Every year we get just a little bit better but still we are utter novices.

Veggies
Seasonal veggies grown naturally all year round; it all starts with seeds and ends with our customers.
Mushrooms
A lovely variety of gourmet & medicinal mushrooms grown right here on the farm.
Fruits
We do not grow a lot of fruits, mainly the best strawberries to be found in the area.
What we do

Naturally, we grow things

We are forever experimenting & expanding but most of our effort go into these:
  • Seasonal vegetables: The mainstay of our farm. We grow year round and have produce every single week of the year.
  • Mushrooms: A little culinary sideline that has grown formidable in our operation.
  • Microgreens: The very first product we ever sold.
  • Eggs: Happy free-range hens, roaming & sometimes being annoying produce happy high quality eggs.
  • Strawberries: Available for a few weeks and normally sold out in advance.
