You Are What You Eat Farms
Walk our fields, pick your own seasonal produce, cut fresh flowers, explore pumpkin and squash patches, meet our honeybees, and discover regenerative farming in action. Learn how cover crops, compost, minerals, mycorrhizal fungi, and pollinator habitats help restore poisoned soil and grow nourishing food. Depending on the season, visitors can enjoy farm tours, honey tastings, gardening demonstrations, seed-saving activities, family photo opportunities, peaceful nature walks, and special harvest events. Come reconnect with the land, learn where your food comes from, and experience a farm where healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people grow together.
