Hidden Pond Farm LLC

We are Andy and Beverly McDowell. We’ve been making fermented foods and herbal tonics for many years for our own use. They have helped us fight illness and digestive troubles.

About ten years ago the opportunity came to buy a small farm. When we moved here we decided to build a business around products we believe in as a means to pay for this dream come true. As we started selling at farmers markets we began to see that we, along with many other producers and consumers, are part of a nationwide awakening to the value of locally produced, healthy foods.

We produce our chemical-free fermented krauts, kimchi, beet kvass, kombucha and herbal tonics in our state-certified facility located on our farm.  This facility is perhaps the only one dedicated solely to making ferments in the state of Indiana.  We are now able to make our products on site  in temperature-controlled chambers for more consistent and high quality products. We sell mostly to health food stores and co-ops in the tri-state area.

Several years ago, Rod Blanchford and Susan Peery
jumped on board, heading up HPF marketing and
producing their Abington Meadows Elderberry Syrup and Hawthorn Berry Syrup in their own nearby on-farm commercial kitchen.
