Mac’s Top Turkey Tips
Mac Stone here. I probably don’t need to tell you that the holidays are a hectic time of year. That’s why now’s the perfect time to pre-order your organic, pasture-raised turkey from us, especially as we expect to sell out as we get closer to Thanksgiving. As an added relief from future holiday stress, I’m sharing […]
Good for the Land and Good for Us
Each week we work hard to bring a bounty of vegetables from our fields to both the farmers market and in your CSA boxes. What you might not realize though is that our livestock play an extremely important role in making that possible. Not only do they convert solar energy into wholesome meat, they are […]
The Fruits (And Vegetables) of Our Labor
We have certainly enjoyed a few cool mornings amid these ever-humid dog days of summer. The first signs of fall trigger warm-loving plant hormones into the deliberate process of shutting down for good, or prepare them for hibernation. The early plantings of tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and the like are shutting down. Later plantings of these […]
Starting From a Seed
If you’re a seasoned local foodie you probably know the names of certain varieties of vegetables you like. Peaches and Cream sweet corn and Black Krim or Green Zebra tomatoes, for example, are some varieties that taste awesome. On our end, we want to plant the varieties you love, but we take many factors into […]
The Dangers of Today’s Industrialized Food System

The annual conference brings together organic farmers and food advocates from all across Kentucky to talk shop, share ideas and resources and […]
What It Means to Be Organic
If you’ve ever looked around your local grocery store you’ve likely noticed specific sections and products labeled “organic.” And, understandably, you may have wondered why and more importantly what that word really means.

A Note from Mac
And just like that, here we are again just a few short days away from Thanksgiving. This time of year seems to often be characterized by a lot of hustle and bustle with family coming to town, shopping for ingredients and then sharing a meal all together. But that moment with everyone gathered at the table […]
Turkey Q&A
There’s a whole lot to love – and learn – about turkeys and their turkey tendencies and each year we relish the opportunity to share more about them with our food and farm family. Earlier this week we invited you to send in your turkey questions for me, Mac Stone, to answer in a special […]
You Are What You Eat
If you’ve met me even once you’ve probably had the pleasure of hearing me pepper this phrase in our conversation. I admit that I have a tendency to wax poetic on this topic but it’s been a little while since I’ve covered it in some kind of depth so I figured that now would be […]
