I hold a teaching certification for Permaculture Design.
We strive to tend to all of the animals we raise with care and handle them using low stress practices in a natural environment in which they are able to freely express themselves. We treat the organisms we share the farm with the same way we ourselves would want to be treated. The health of the soil is a big consideration in our farming practices. We work to keep our animals and plants naturally healthy by focusing on healthy genetics, implementing diversity, rotation and providing them everything they need in order to build a healthy immune system on their own. Farmscaping is used to incorporate flowering perennials that attract and feed beneficial insects and is a big part of our integrated pest management. We have been building our farm since 2011.

We are both farm kids that met and fell in love while working at one of the first organic farms in Virginia. We both love farming and building our dream together. When not farming Betsy teaches Sustainable Agriculture at Reynolds Community College and maintains the campus vegetable garden.
