Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as maypop, purple passionflower, true passionflower… Grows wild on our farm! Beautiful, delicate blooms that are most fragrant after a rain.

We’re fortunate to have them actually setting fruit this year! We found a small group of them last year spreading out on the ground getting stepped on. Vastly out competed for vertical space by grapevines. This year I watched for them and trellised them so they’d have somewhere to go of their own and they’re paying us back by growing these neat egg shaped fruit.

Supposed to taste like a cross between a banana and a kiwi, but I can’t wait to find out for myself. :)) Probably the most beautiful bloom we have on the farm.

We've been making and selling milk soaps and regular soap for some time now. In fact, it's what we started with before we bought our farm. But now you can purchase without having to find us at a market! :)

Spa Day ($8): Our most luxurious bar with goat milk, shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, colloidal oats and pleasantly scented with oatmeal, milk and honey.

Fancy Pants ($7): Also with goat milk, shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil and coconut oil. This bar is scented with almond.

The Plain Jane ($5): Our basic bar is still an excellent experience. Olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil and sesame oil. The Plain Jane comes scented with almond or can also be ordered a unscented.

10% discount for orders of 10 bars or more!

TO ORDER: Email us at [email protected] with which bars in what quantities, your name and a shipping address. We'll respond with a quote giving a link that can be paid online through Square

Custom scents may be ordered in minimum quantities of 10 bars, but we can't guarantee color on every fragrance, as certain oils will react with mica powders differently. Apologies, but custom orders cannot be discounted.

We've appreciated the many customers who've supported our business over the years and we hope this makes it easier for you all to get our products and for new customers to experience our products for the first time!

Thank y'all! :)

With almost 19 acres of dense forest to revitalize, our goats have been the best helpers a man can have!

We got 3 Savannah/Texmaster goats toward the beginning of 2025 to help clear various areas, and man do they love their jobs! A mom and her two babies (Biscuit, Honey and Butters respectively).

Bart and Bertie, our original breeding set of pigs. Bertie is a Hampshire while Bart is a Berkshire. We have since invested in 3 Berkshire gilts that will soon be the source of all our pork sides and cuts.

Pigs are such a fun animal to have on the farm! Bertie was a great mom to the litter we got last year that we processed in December. Happy pigs make happy customers!

Back in December, we lost our sweet old boy Max. He was 13. Our other elderly pup, Jude, was suddenly without his partner in crime—they'd been together since they were both under a year old.

Then fate stepped in.

During a cold snap with ice, snow, and 28-degree daytime highs, Rave happened upon a puppy by the side of the road, miles from any homes. Likely dumped. He sent me a picture of himself holding her, loaded her up in his mail jeep, and arranged to meet me along his route so I could get her home and warm. The next day we got her to the vet for much needed dewormers and shots—but we were already set on keeping her.

She was estimated at 5 weeks old (born the week of Christmas). After maybe a week of being unsure, Jude became her tutor. It was like he got a little spark back. He wasted no time putting her in her place while also grooming her and teaching her which balls were best to play with.

Jude isn't a puppy again—he's too old for that. But she gave him a purpose. And we're sure glad Rave stopped to investigate and pick up what's turned out to be one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I've ever known.

Punkin' is now 5 months old this week. She's turned into a beautiful pup with a long life ahead of her here on the farm. 🎃
