We have our 10.5 acre plot. It's mainly wooded and has a not-my-favorite-kind-of-boring house that we're fixing up. We've planted a small orchard in the clearing in front of our house, and are slowly thinning the trees around the house to let the light shine in and grow a garden.
While it's not the property we'd envisioned all along, no rolling pastures or old farmhouse, it has potential in places we would have missed in that 'dream'. We have a large pond and the lumber that surrounds us is sheltering and full of good things we didn't know we wanted.
Shortly after moving out here, we discovered Essential Oils, and an opportunity to learn and teach Holistic Wellness in a way that helps us build and grow our farm by adding much needed income for projects and visions we otherwise would have to put off. Our mission is to use our ability to teach and share in this way to grow our farm, and our legacy so that our children's children will have a bounty!
Using a mix of Permaculture, Organics and Biodynamics we are making the most of this piece of land, hoping that we will leave it someday better than we found it. We are open to suggestions and hoping that this place can become a place of learning and sharing for our family and for others. It is lovingly known as 'the Grimstead'--or Schoolhouse Farm.
If you're a farmer, farmstead, homesteader type, and are struggling to financially support the vision you have for restoring the land--talk to us. We're excited to offer this solution to others, and with a product that is grown and harvested with a commitment to our same sustainable ideals, it's a perfect fit.
