Meet the Farm
We’re a women-led team devoted to growing & producing high quality, wildly potent, & beautiful medicinal herbs, functional foods, & herbal products utilizing regenerative organic practices on our farm less than 30 minutes outside of Asheville, NC.
Today, we consider ourselves pretty damn lucky to steward a 6-acre permaculture-designed farm that includes:
- a 1-acre grow devoted to medicinal herbs, some perennial food crops, & edible flowers;
- an outdoor mushroom “garden;”
- a couple of young ½-acre forest gardens;
- a 60’ high tunnel;
- a small veggie garden for our amazing farmers;
- & a small flock of chickens & a few unruly farm dogs to keep us in line.
Little farm. Big dreams.

Why Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is not a specific practice itself. Rather, it employs the use a variety of sustainable agriculture techniques in combination.
It places focus on a conservation & rehabilitation approach to food & farming systems, topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving water cycles, supporting carbon sequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, & strengthening the health & vitality of farm soil.
We’re 100% committed to regenerative organic practices & building soil health.
Here’s how:
- We’re entirely a no-till kinda deal. Maintaining the natural & highly intelligent structure of the soil is better for us, the plants, & the planet.
- We uphold no-till practices for these benefits:
- Less soil erosion
- Less soil compaction
- Increased soil fertility
- Increased carbon sequestration
- Less time & labor inputs needed in the long run as we learn to work alongside nature & not against it
- We use crop rotation & companion planting vs. monocropping improve soil health, optimize nutrients in the soil, & stay on top of pest & weed pressure.
- We broadfork, chop & drop, compost on farm, apply compost teas, mulch like our lives depend on it, & pull every damn weed by hand or hoe.
- We never use synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides of any kind.
