Why we do what we do

 
Real food comes from hard work, being unafraid of getting dirty, but mostly from love. Love for the land, the nutrients that it provides, and to the customers who keep coming back every year. They appreciate the affection we have for what we do. We hope you will, too!

The beauty of regenerative farming is its ability to work in harmony with nature. By rotating crops, planting cover crops, and enriching the soil through composting and natural amendments, we reduce the need for external inputs and create a resilient growing environment. 

Our Pasture-raised chickens help fertilize and keep down the pests we don’t want to share our produce with. The diverse plant life in our fields also attracts beneficial insects, pollinators, and birds, which helps keep our ecosystem balanced and productive.

By using nature’s own principles to restore soil health and enhance biodiversity, we are not only sustaining the environment, but also improving it. All the while we are growing foods that are nutrient dense without compromising the rich flavor that is Local raised.

Our Customers Say…

I have been a CSA customer for a few years.  I have been very happy with my share each year and I especially love the extras that are included with the “Plus” share.  It always feels like a special treat when I pick up my share and a flower arrangement, honey, maple syrup and other homemade items are included.  I love being part of the CSA because in addition to feeding my family well, I am able to support a local farmer and woman owned business.

I am confident in the freshness and safety of my food.  I’ve been able to try many new versions of vegetables.  I know that the farming practices are not depleting the earth, but sustaining it. I also really love that the share is spring, summer and fall and that I am able to add poultry as well.   I cannot recommend Providence Farmstead enough!

Pastured Poultry

Here at Providence Farmstead, we want our chickens to be happy and healthy. One of the best ways to accomplish this is access to fresh grass, sunshine, and all the bugs they can gobble up. This allows the chicken to just be a chicken!
Our egg layers are rotationally moved about our farm. This allows them to keep the pests down in areas, fertilize the ground, and just to be happy to have fresh areas.
Our meat birds live in a pen that is bottomless and moved daily. No cramped, filthy chicken houses here! Just chickens doing their part and helping to keep the land fertilized and loving their lives.
All chickens are fed a diet of non-GMO feed in addition to the things that they forage on the farm.

Oh, Honey

We love our native pollinators at Providence Farmstead, but we also love honey.

Bringing an apiary in just made sense! We have had anywhere from 4 to 20 hives going at one time here on our farm. These ladies are busy!

They forage all of the beautiful wildflowers and crops on our farm to make a delicious raw honey.  

Just like all other aspects of our farm, beekeeping is a family affair. Our middle child, Gabriel, even shows honey at the county fair and has taken it to state fair for the past few years.

Fresh seasonal vegetables

At our farmstead, we are proud to offer a variety of seasonal vegetables to our CSA members, grown with care using regenerative agricultural practices. Our commitment to sustainability means that every vegetable is nurtured without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.

A CSA is like a special membership to our farm. It stands for community supported agriculture and it helps put local food into people’s hands. It provides a way for consumers to buy local, seasonally fresh food directly from a farmer. This isn’t necessarily a new concept, it’s just a new way of doing it. As opposed to going to a Farm stand or Farmers Market, you purchase a share before the growing season.

This share gets you a bag or basket depending on if you get a full share or half share of seasonal produce every week for 20 weeks. And sometimes an extra share or two at the end!

This is beneficial to everyone, because this skips all of the supply chain process which leaves your food drained of its best nutrients and covered in nasty pesticides not to mention all of the gas and resources used to transport it.

Some memberships even include fresh eggs, flowers, and other things produced here at the farm.
