get to know who helped it grow
Any relationship that begins with an engagement ring carved out of a potato is destined to have vegetables in it’s future. Fast forward eleven years and here we are settled into Earth Sky Time, the homestead that Albert (Oliver’s father) bought in 1972.
Our children (Guv, Talula and Eden) are the cream of the crop and while they do not exactly add to the efficiency of the business, they happen to be our very favorite distractions.
We like to say that we are a people powered farm. Our diversified operation, which in addition to growing organic vegetables, includes taking care of our 300 laying hens fed on local composted foodwaste, and running our bakery and prepared food business. We do all this relying solely on help from interns and volunteers. We enjoy the hands on nature of working with food. We hear so much these days about restoring local food sovereignty and breaking free from the prepackaged corporate stronghold on supermarket shelves. Well, here is a solution: a handful of happy people in a big house on a hill, feeding our community!
Peace,
Bonnie, Oliver and the whole gang
