Our journey into farming began a little over a year and a half ago, partially by accident. Neither of us were raised on a farm, but have long been fascinated with the concept and way of life small-scale farming had to offer. Fed up with mass marketing, repulsive living conditions of commercially raised animals, and mediocre quality of products; we ventured off and jumped in with both feet and no experience! We started with a couple horses, pigs, chickens and a buck goat named dudley. We gained valuable knowledge from the infinate wisdom and experience of local farmers and through many, many mistakes. Initially, we had no intention of turning our home-grown products into a business, but with positive feedback from family, friends, and each other we decided to give it a try. We both have jobs outside of farming, Carrie at a local hospital and Dan is a reserve with the Pittsfield Police Dept. Our long term goal is to farm full time. We have a one year old, beautiful baby girl named Danielle (Dani) and hope that one day she will share the same passion that we do. |
