Our Mission Statement |
Our Food Philosophy... We produce what we believe is good for our families and thus would be good for yours. We grow food to secure for ourselves and our customers, a healthy alternative to what is presently available. We produce food that is free of harsh chemicals and is grown using natural fertilizers. Our livestock is free-ranging and is fed only the highest quality certified organic feed with a supplemental diet of organic greens. We strongly believe that food should nourish, and not cause harm to our bodies or the environment.
Food should not be wasted. There are people, who go hungry daily, and there are the many who are overfed, but under nourished. Sadly, this is most prevalent in the industrial nations. The spread of junk fast-foods is becoming a global crisis as corporate giants want to further taint our food supply with new, untested “species” concocted in a genetic laboratory (GMO's), and lab grown "meat".
For millions of years, the natural food system did not fail mankind. We not only survived, but flourished to a point of overpopulation! It is only within the past 100 years, of man’s brief time on earth, that we have resorted to artificial and toxic means to grow our food. As a result, we not only have harmed our health, but we have dealt a blow to the very environment that supports our well-being.
No longer is there a lake, river, or stream that is not contaminated with toxic agricultural chemicals. No longer is there a person who does not know someone who has cancer, or who has had a heart attack. There is only one way to reverse this destructive path, and we believe we have taken the first and most important step, and that was the decision to dedicate our god-given energies to the task of growing food as it was created, and to provide access to this natural food for the local community, for the betterment of physical and economic health.
We must all become aware of the hidden costs of industrial farming. They are not, nor will ever be included in the environmental costs to our air, water, and our health. These are costs we and our children will pay for long into the future with our well-being and billions of dollars in taxes.
We believe that through the education of nutrition, and the business and politics of food, we can succeed in our goal of setting up a viable alternative system, that will benefit people, animals, and our mother earth.
