My Farm

I occasionally get calls from our listing on Local Harvest about our farm. Recently, with Wal-Mart's announcement that they are going to start stocking organic foods there has been more interest in what we do. I have been interviewed by a reporter at BYU's newspaper and then a month or so later by a reporter for the Daily Herald. Well, now the farm is famous! We made the paper!

Sort of fun to see they even got most of it right and chose the good stuff for the article. Since we don't use the term organic on our farm we have taken to using the word natural. Kent Crookston, dean of the College of Biology and Agriculture at BYU, calls it a loophole and I can see that point. We don't use the term as a loophole, but rather to discuss and educate people on the difference between the food we sell and organic food from the market. There is a distinct difference and we are up front with people with what we do on our place and give them the opportunity to take it or leave it.

We're cooking up some chicken on the BBQ on Friday!
