About Us

Sustainable farming focused on wheat, sheep, and pawpaw trees

Growing and milling wheat in Hardwick in recent years has become a fulfilling family and community activity that works well with our farmland. Crop fertility and weed suppression are accomplished by rotating fields with our grass grazing sheep herd.

Publicity from the Chronicle TV show on September 8, 2020 highlighted our Redeemer wheat grain

Abbie's love of edible landscaping has led to crops of organically grown pawpaws, Cornelian cherries, persimmons, and beach plums.

Combining is Calming and Contemplative

Evan made this drone video on his birthday of Stan combining the wheat. The video is long but worthwhile. Combining is calming in terms of the methodical pace and satisfaction gained from harvesting healthy and nourishing grain.

Family Unity

Simon fills and transports a full bag of wheat berries to a poly barn for drying and cleaning. Stan starts up the combine to harvest more wheat. Evan captures the action on his drone. Theresa and Melissa help with cleaning wheat berries. I observe. Growing wheat is our meaningful and unifying family activity.

Pasture Grazing and Grain Cultivation Rotation

Simon completes the harvesting for 2017 of our Redeemer wheat. As he finishes the last part, Evan lets the sheep herd enter the field. Our grain growing fields become pastures in alternate years. Sheep grazing contributes to soil health with improved fertility. With pasture rotation for our grain production, we can suppress weeds and avoid the use of herbicides.

Grazing Sheep and Fertile Pastures for Future Grain Growing

Thank you Evan for this gorgeous drone video from May 11, 2019. Early May is always lovely with vivid green grass and pastel dappled deciduous trees. The sheep thrive. For 2021 we have fields of rye and Redeemer wheat planted.

Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic Shelter in Place situation was needed for Abbie to actually view her son's wonderful drone videos from 2018. She is glad that she can share them. We look forward to a successful grain growing season in 2021.
