oUR sTORY

Our farm story began in 2018, when on a whim and a prayer we purchased a rundown home and land. After years of acquiring many blisters, animals, plants and weird suntans, we eventually created the home and farm of our dreams. Our emphasis in the beginning of this journey was to create a space in which our children (along with ourselves) learned the value of producing our own food, fiber, meat and eggs. We challenged ourselves to learn sustainable and organic farming practices, and the emphasis soon changed to how can we share this journey and all that we have learned with more than just our children.

So…..here we are, sharing our hard work and ambition with you. For now, this ambition is in the form of HomeMade Jams, Jellies, Teas, Seasonings and Confections that is procured from our own organically grown gardens and trees along with HandMade fiber creations from our small Alpaca herd. I would like to be able to say that we grew everything that goes into our ingredients, but we are not that good at everything yet! So to keep in the spirit of ethical sustainability along with ensuring a high quality and great tasting product, we purchase ingredients from local organic farmers and shelf products that not only have the USDA Organic seal, but are non-GMO, ethically harvested and in some cases certified Kosher.

One day we hope to meet you and share our story with you by introducing you to the fruit trees my father grew from seed and let you feel the soft fiber of our eclectic herd of misfit Alpacas while you watch the glorious Southern California sunset touch the hot desert horizon we call home.

Cheers!

The Farm and Shop

The Farm

We are a lopsided team, Mike does the heavy lifting and digging and Julianne designs, plans and “helps” with the heavy lifting. We maintain our property with the selective help of our children (we take what we can!) and are committed to organic growing practices and zero pesticide use on plants.

We cannot wait to bring you to the farm for special events such as tastings and open farm tours. Sign-up for our newsletter to keep informed of these upcoming dates.

The Shop

Right now we are an online shop. The plan is to participate in the local (Riverside, Yucaipa, Calimesa, Redlands) Certified Farmers Markets and sell in person as well. If you own or manage the products for a Brick and Morter store and would like to include our products - LET US KNOW! - we have the required permit to work with you and would love to share our story and what we can offer personally with you!
