About Us
We purchased our farm and began the long process of starting it back up like and old engine. With multiple barns, watering systems and all the remnants of a once-productive farm—”the bones were good,” as they say. The house itself dates back to 1904, but we believe there was an even earlier cabin in its place. It was a big project, involving foundation repairs and significant updates to the house, securing and utilizing the barn structures, and getting our arms around the land and wildlife. A narrow valley tucked between two ridge systems with a spring-fed creed running through it…it was what we call “prime Tennessee land”—the soil: fertile, the water table: excellent, and the view: perfect. It is our Sweet Glen—our haven between ancient ridges that spill into the Buffalo River. We believe our farm and land have every single thing that makes Tennessee so beautiful: pasture, ancient, moss-covered boulders, spring water, the tranquility of never-ending forest, incredible soil and every kind of wildlife.
What we grow
Currently at the farm, we grow organic vegetables, St. Croix/Katahdin hair-sheep, laying hens, and cut-flowers…all watered from the natural resources of the land, using regenerative farming practices.

What we care about
Clean food
We all see it…that there is no end to the ways that our food supply is compromised. We want healthy, clean, heirloom (non-GMO) seasonal produce for our own family—and for our community’s. We believe food is medicine, and we use regenerative and permaculture principles that allow us to work with nature rather than against it—to grow nutritious, fear-free food. It is riskier and slower, but that is the cost of growing real food.
We protect our little piece of TN paradise by disturbing as little of our soil as possible.
Our regenerative Farming practices
We use intensive rotational grazing with our sheep, moving them every day to a new paddock. They are 100% grass-fed and finished, they give our soil a good trample, and—errr— leave some really superior fertilizer in their wake. The soil is able to rest for at least 2 months between grazings.
We use rotational planting in the food plots, feeding rather than stripping the soil, and cutting down the pest pressure.
Nothing goes to waste. Aging plants and vegetables (and bumper crops) are fed to the chickens, and carbon debris goes to compost.
Habitat stewardship
We look out on our farm and see an environment that, with a little bit of life and activity, is a haven for wildlife. Our land is home to deer, turkey, owls, herons, raccoons, groundhogs & every other kind of marsupial, coyotes, and even bobcats. We regularly see birds at our farm that we’ve never seen anywhere else—like a massive hummingbird population, Indigo Buntings, Warblers, and all of the other usual suspects. We have many aerial predators also—hawks are abundant and we’ve even seen a bald eagle. And in the summer months, it looks like a butterfly sanctuary around here. Many of these animals and insects were here already, but we have seen an uptick in the wildlife since the farm became active again—we see that as a sign that we are doing something right.
