ABOUT
Our Beginning
Our beginning simply comes down to three things: a passionate green thumb, a long-held farming dream, and a leap of faith for our livelihood. As we fell in love with fresh, wholesome food at our own table, we realized families around us were looking for the same. That realization continues to guide our mission to offer nutrient-dense food to our community.
We’re honored to have the opportunity to revive Jordan’s great-grandfather’s homestead. Our vision is to return it to a viable business and a sustainable, working farm. In 2012, we named our endeavor Homestead Produce and fenced in our first plot eager to grow fresh produce to sell at our local farmers market.
Our Journey
Being first generation farmers we began growing & experimenting with a wide variety of crops and growing methods. We determined to farm organically, convinced by the results of our experiments. We grow all our produce organically!
Our mobile pastured flock had small beginnings. We purchased 150 chicks in March of 2018 in speculation on selling eggs besides our produce at the farmer’s market. The response was so enthusiastic we expanded as soon as we could to satisfy the demand in our town. The first flocks we raised and housed in the old barn, built in 1939 by great grandpa, with runs outdoors into our pasture, all while our dreams were with a mobile pastured system that would give us location options and fresher pasture daily. In 2023 we bought our first mobile coop.
We have met much encouragement, advice, and many instructions from you, our customers, other farmers, educators, and influencers on our journey.
Thank you for being part of the farm and community we are today!
“Jordan and Kayla grow fabulous produce and always make sure the quality is farm fresh. I love their produce, but more than that I appreciate their attentiveness to sustainability, they are ensuring the farm will continue producing quality goods for generations to come.”
