Ordering & Shipping
Getting farm food to your door
How do ship dates work?
Frozen meat leaves the farm every other week, on a Monday or Tuesday. Order by the cutoff and you’re on the next run. Pantry goods are coming later this year.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes — the lower 48 and Alaska, from Vevay, Indiana. Tri-state neighbors in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana enjoy the shortest transit times, and on-farm pickup is always available.
What's your guarantee?
If anything arrives in poor condition or short of our standard, email us and we’ll make it right. We don’t cut corners on anything we grow or make — including how we handle problems.
Our Meat
Pasture-raised, soy- & corn-free
What does soy- and corn-free actually mean?
Our chickens and pigs eat a custom ration containing zero soy and zero corn, alongside everything they harvest from living pasture. It’s costlier and slower — and you can taste the difference in the meat itself.
How is the meat processed and packaged?
Small batches, vacuum-sealed (whole chickens are heat-shrink wrapped by the processor), and deep-frozen at peak freshness. It keeps beautifully for months in your freezer.
Do you sell in bulk?
Yes — bulk options bring per-meal cost down considerably for families who eat the way we do. Watch the store or ask us directly.
Teas & Home Goods
From the garden and the hearth
Where are your tea herbs grown?
In our own beds, steps from the farmhouse — chamomile, lavender, and garden herbs raised without synthetic chemicals, dried slow, and blended by hand.
What are the candles made of?
Pure beeswax from our own hives, hand-poured on the farm. No paraffin, no blends, no fragrance oils — just what the bees made.
Is the honey raw?
Yes — unheated and unfiltered beyond a coarse strain, straight from hives that live in our orchard.
Visiting
Seeing the farm yourself
When can we visit?
Through scheduled tours, workshops, and events now — and starting this October, during posted store hours at the stone cottage. The events page has the current calendar.
Where exactly are you?
Vevay, Indiana, in Switzerland County on the Ohio River — about 50 minutes from Cincinnati, an hour from Louisville, and 90 minutes from Indianapolis.
Can our group or homeschool co-op book a tour?
Yes, by arrangement — use the contact form and we’ll find a date that works.
