"Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth."
~ Walt Whitman
Regenerative Farming
What began as Jan and Michelle Eckhart's dream to grow everything they possibly could has evolved into something deeper: a regenerative farm where healthy soil creates resilient crops, where seasonal abundance teaches us to value what's here and now, and where every visitor—from toddlers tasting their first strawberry to grandparents sharing traditions—reconnects with the source of their food.
We're not just preserving farmland—we're regenerating it, creating a model that proves agriculture can heal the land while nourishing the community. We're cultivating not just crops, but connection: to seasons, to food systems, to each other, and to this sacred place that will be here for generations to come.
Regenerative Farming Practices
We farm in a way that makes the soil healthier every season, building resilience against depletion, run-off and improving our watershed
Our regenerative practices go beyond sustainable— we're actively improving the land’s biodiversity
Healthy soil creates more nutrient-dense food and dramatically better flavor
We use integrated pest management and natural methods, keeping pathogens to a minimum
We're building a model that other farms can learn from— proving agriculture can heal rather than harm
Seasonality & Local Food
We grow what grows best here, when it grows best here—that's how you get real flavor
Eating seasonally teaches you to appreciate and anticipate—strawberries in June taste sweeter because you've waited for them
Our commitment to seasonality means a smaller carbon footprint and fresher food
When something's not in season, we won't force it—we'll offer you what's ready and at its best
Produce harvested that morning tastes completely different from grocery store produce that traveled hundreds of miles
