Hi, we are Farmer Tim & Astrid, and we so glad you’re here because that means you have an interest in farm fresh, real food and quite possibly even some interest in producing some of your own by homesteading on small acreage!
​
Whether you’re brand new to cutting out processed food or you’re a just starting a garden or bee hive, we hope you’ll find some value in our blog where we encourage you to kick the processed food habit and try at least grow or produce a little of your own real food. In the beginning of 2011 as we innocently started researching aquaponics, we started reading ingredient labels more consciously, learning that those things we cannot pronounce on the labels are certainly not good for our health, buying organic and reading as much as we could about wellness and nutrition. Prior to this time, we relied on the labeling to be accurate and the food sold in grocery stores to be reasonably healthy, we had no idea what we were eating was so wrong.

Where to Start
Start Here Page
As we were reaseaching aquaponics and learning more and more about our country's dysfunctional food system and poor nutirtion, we knew we needed an overhaul and saw an opportunity to do something about it for the community as well as ourselves. It all started with wanting to build a small backyard aquaponics systems and have a backyard flock. However, our city's ordinances we not for that, so we found some agriculturally zoned land and the farm adventures began. It started quite simply with aquaponics, then beekeeping, then permaculture, which lead to pastured chickens and soon goats.
What a adventure it has been! And what better way to convince others to join us in this adventure than to give you all the tools you need to successfully make it happen through not only our blog, but also our farm's educational and outreach oppotunities.
