COVID-19 - We are fully vaccinated. We continue to monitor guidance issued by the CDC and Kentucky's guidelines. As more of us are vaccinated we have made changes to our returns policy and will now accept returns of those items which adhere to our returns policy.
We are a small sustainable farm focused on promoting rare, heirloom seed varieties; flavorful, nutritional dense fruits and vegetables; diverting farm waste by reclaiming, recycling, re-purposing and up-cycling it into beautiful functional art and useful home decor. Vintage children's items, clothing, home decor, and other home accessories are from my collection which have been passed down for three generations and with my mother's permission I have begun to offer them to individuals who will love and care for them as much as we have. I simply can't keep everything.

5 out of 5 starsNot planting till next season so can't speak for germination, but it looks true-to-type and tastes like the white corn seed I grew from a cob from the rez. Should help me maintain genetic diversity in next years' crop, especially if it descends from Norton Rickard corn. As described, prompt shipping and good packaging.

5 out of 5 starsI ordered before i was ready to plant but they look perfect and sprouting.. I'm currently attempting to store them until planting season but if that doesn't work out, I will reorder. A+

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely beautiful! I had been looking for a covered candy dish that was unique and came across this one. I have other candy dishes from my grandmother but they do not have lids. After reading the item details and that it came from your grandmother I knew I this was the one. It’s a perfect match to my other candy dishes. Each time I take a kiss from the dish, I’ll think of our grandmothers. ❤️

About Us
Establishment
The property consists of 5.125 acres and was purchased in October of 1998. It has undergone a complete metamorphosis with the establishment of food production gardens and the implementation of wildlife habitat restoration. We keep mechanization to a minimum and use a walk behind lawn mower to maintain walking paths or keep invasive plants in check, a string trimmer to groom garden beds and a rototiller to establish new garden beds, revitalize an existing one or control pest populations. After completing treatment for aggressive breast cancer in 2005 - 2006 I determined it was my good eating habits and using much of my own food that prevented any lymph node infiltration so in 2007 I started selling my excess production at my local farmers' market. I focus on heirlooms for history, flavor and genetic diversity.
Habitat Gardens
o Wildlife habitat restoration of property begun spring of 2003.
o Repopulating the land with Kentucky native plants to provide food and shelter for
wildlife.
o Allowing natives found naturally on the property to grow and expand their presence.
o Provide a chemical free environment for wildlife.
o Educate homeowners about the use of native plants for home scale gardening and
habitat restoration.
Philosophy
We believe in living closer to the land. We advocate and practice sustainable production methods by utilizing native plantings as predator habitat to eliminate the need for chemical applications. We specialize in heirlooms such as rare black popcorn; very rare Native American flour corn and dried beans; value added jams, jellies and baked goods made from heirloom vegetables and ground corn flour or cornmeal. We plan for a mix of native plantings for beauty and wildlife support alongside the cultivated production gardens. We continually improve our soil by the addition of organic materials and minimum use of tillage equipment. Our only use of chemicals is for the control of invasive plants that were brought on to the property by previous owners. All garden production is done by hand in addition to harvesting, processing and packaging.
Production Gardens
o Baked goods made from corn flour, cornmeal and heirloom vegetables and herbs.
o High tunnel and low tunnel gardening for four-season food production.
o Chesnok Red of hand crafted garlic.
o 3 varieties of Native American corn ground on site.
o 6 varieties of heirloom dried beans.
o Heirloom vegetables.
o Wild crafted items made from fresh and dried plant material grown on property.
o Plants - Kentucky natives, cultivars, herbs, succulents and vegetables.
o Vegetable seed.
o Up cycling building demolition debris; new construction materials; high tunnel plastic;
left over paints and stains; projects started and scrapped and all other bits and pieces
that would otherwise end up in the local landfill and re-purpose them into something
functional and beautiful.
Sustainability
Everything taken off the land is put back by use of composting. Grass clippings and straw are effective mulch and greatly reduce the need for weeding while providing soil stability through temperature and moisture moderation and pest deterrence. All plant material benefits from the use of mulch by adding organic matter back into the soil.
Packaging
After reading a little book called "50 Simple Things You Can Do For The Planet" in the early 1990's I have been on a mission to reduce our impact on the environment and since that time have spent a great deal of time researching how to live a more balanced and environmentally friendly life. To that end I find packaging a great dilemma so since we already have a substantial amount of packaging available from farm purchases we reuse that as often as we can in addition to new packaging purchases. All boxes that cannot be reused are used as weed block or recycled. Furthermore, we shred all paper and use as packaging fill and again if it cannot be used fast enough we incorporate it back into the soil directly or through composting. The only garbage we generate are items that are truly garbage and cannot be reused, recycled or re-purposed. Since 1/3 of the garbage generated is packaging alone I keep packaging to a minimum and provide reusable or recyclable packaging as much as possible.
