General Farm Description: We have a well rounded operation. We run a small grass fed dairy, in combination with pastured pigs, and chickens. We have about 100 hens and 2 acres of veggies. All of the food we grow directly feeds the events we cater. We go above and beyond the organic standards in every aspect of our work and we love to teach.
