Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food
Greetings from The Farmer In Odell!
When you shop with us, you are helping to keep rural farmland strong! Talented farmers and I work to help build a resilient regional food system that improves the health and well-being of our community! We believe healthy food results in healthy communities! Our goal is to continue farming as long as we can, leaving the land better than how we found it.
What We Do
We have been working hard on our little farm to grow fruits and vegetables for you and your family! We have teamed up with several other local growers to provide a wide variety of produce, crafts, jams, honey, and gifts! We are passionate about utilizing what is in season and local.
Tell me and I will Forget, Show Me and I will Remember, Involve Me and I Understand
This quote really hit home for me after transitioning from being a teenager wanting cheap food, to working on the farm, then owning a farm. When you are INVOLVED you have a whole new level of UNDERSTANDING.
Our Mission
Our mission is to have a productive farm that can provide living wages for our family and an enjoyable lifestyle growing food for others. We want our farm to benefit our neighbors. We want to help others learn about seasonal produce, offer inspiration on how to enjoy the produce and help teach others how to preserve those special treats- such as canning fresh peaches to enjoy local produce all winter! We want more people to have a relationship with farmers to help build a bridge between farmer and consumer.
"No one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly factors like opportunity, luck, and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance,"
