About the Farm

Certified Naturally Grown small farm run by the Owner/Farmer. I grow Open Pollinated, Heirloom, and non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and garlic in an organic manner. NO pesticides. No herbicides. Everything's done by hand.

I moved to KY from NJ 11 years ago to escape the noise and congestion of the city AND to have my feet in the dirt every day of the year. We grow 60% of all our own food and buy local/natural/organically raised meats and dairy as needed.

While our farm is listed as growing zone 6-6b, I am located on the top of a bluff, so most times frost pass us by. In winter, however, the snow lasts a lot longer at my altitude than down in the valley. I'll be snowed in while the rest of the folks can easily ride of snow-free roads. lol

Our Commitment to Quality Seed

My commitment to the fact that my seeds will remain true to type is that I only save seeds from open pollinated vegetables that aren't grown within pollinating distance of others in their same sub-species. If I'm in doubt, I don't save those seeds.

My seeds grow stronger and stronger each year as they acclimate to my soil and growing conditions without the addition of harmful pesticides or fungicides that aren't found in nature.

Our Growing Practices

I've been growing organically for the past 20+ years, both here and in NJ.

Our farm was bought from people who only practiced organic methods, but I didn't become Certified Naturally Grown until I had three years of sweat equity in our ground. I've been Certified ever since.

For those who don't know, Certified Naturally Grown uses the same rules and regulations as USDA Certified Organic--only that we're self-supported and inspected by other farmers NOT the US government or any of their subsidiaries. All of our farms are inspected annually, and copies of our inspection reports can be viewed by the public at www.NaturallyGrown.org

Our Seed Farming Experience

Year after year I save my own seeds from open pollinated vegetables to use in the following years. I don't save seeds from things that might have crossed, such as squash varieties.

Garlic is my main seed crop, and right now I have about 20 varieties available for sale each year. Next year I hope to have another five.

Our growing zone is basically mid-zoned, so I can successfully grow both hard and soft neck varieties with no problems. I put aside several hundred pounds of seed-quality garlic bulbs each year to sell on my own website as well as other vendor sites that I'm a member of.

Regional Adaptation

Those plants that do well for me each year, after I've harvested what I need for our family's yearly consumption, I let the plants go to seed and then save from there.

I don't do anything fancy with trait or stuff like that, but I only save seeds from the best looking produce on each plant.
