How It All Started

Many years ago, our family bought this land and named Cumberland Farm. We (all our family) started out farming conventional hay but soon realized that was not what we wanted. We then started down the path of biological farming and exotic animal and transitioned our farm to an organic one. We then grew organic corn but our soils didn’t do what we wanted. After some more studying we decided what we were missing was no-till and diverse cover crops. In the summer of 2014 my brother and I went to a class put on by Soil Health Academy at Seven Sons Farm in Roanoke, IN. We then realized that we needed higher diversity not only in cover crops but also in our cash crops.
So here we are, We have learned that if we don’t have healthy soil, we won’t have healthy food. We have a desire to produce quality pasture products that will be not only healthy for the soil but also healthy for the consumer.
