We Weren’t Always Farmers
We’re just a little family that likes hanging out in the backyard and getting our fingers & toes in the dirt.
Back in 2013, in a little 600sqft apartment in Texas, God orchestrated a series of events that led us here to the Ozarks and instilled in us a desire to share the abundance He’s provided us with other families.
If you stop by the farm, you’ll probably find us outside harvesting veggies or leveling a mulch pile. We hope to add more livestock soon, but until then, we’ll be growing all the food, pushing the Missouri climate to the limit as we strive toward a 4 season harvest.
Our daughter, Turtle, has been calling us farmers since we purchased Elm Farm back in 2017. We’ve been growing 90% of our own vegetables & herbs over the last few years, giving away the overflow to friends and family until we took the leap and started our first Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program in 2022.
In 2023, we’re opening up the CSA to even more families and setting dates for family-friendly events throughout the spring, summer, and fall here on the farm. We want Elm to be your home in the country, a safe space for your family.
We’re a homeschooling, real-food-eating, duck-egg-hunting, sourdough-baking, Bible-reading, ministry-supporting, herbal-medicine-using family and it’s our prayer that Elm Farm will be used to encourage & bless other families as we grow food for our community and open wide our gates to give others more opportunity to experience God’s creation first hand.
He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8
