Produce

In addition to our heritage livestock, we offer over thirty different kinds of heirloom and wild fruits, mushrooms, and vegetables and are adding more fruits in the coming years. While we do a lot of farm planning around the vegetables, all of our crops are simply a byproduct of taking care of the soils, waters, and native ecosystems we inhabit.

Modern commercial hybrids are bred for characteristics like shelf-life, firmness, size, uniformity, and durability in shipping; sacrificing nutrition, flavor, beauty, genetic diversity, and cultural significance. Our produce is all heirloom, and 20 of our 36 varieties are native to the South.

We are proud to announce our 2022 line-up as well as the fruits that are in our future!
