About Us

We are a small farm and nursery on a 1.5 acre hillside in Oxford, Connecticut that specializes in all kinds of herbs.

We also create sustainable woodworking items and home goods that are made 100% by us on the farm.

Our Key Principles

No Till
- We avoid all tilling on our farm to help keep the soil as healthy as possible.
- Healthy soil with good structure = healthy plants and an ecosystem that works together to control any pests.
No Pesticides or Herbicides
- Since we let our farm run like an ecosystem, we have minimal pest problems. For any major problems that may arise, we will introduce beneficial insects such as ladybugs to assist us.
- We also built our beds in a way that limits weed seed germination initially and have very few issues with weeds. By not tilling the soil and adding mulch each spring, we are also limiting weeds.
Smart Design
- By following Permaculture design methods, we have been able to enhance the soil on our land, reduce erosion (we grow on a hillside), and increase production substantially.
- Stay tuned for many new blog posts that include details on our designs that could work for you too!

She has a strong passion for sustainable farming and completed a Permaculture Design Course in 2021.

Matt
Matt has been working with wood for 15 years and loves nothing more than picking the perfect piece(s) of wood and then bring out the best in that wood. From the time he bought a duct tape wallet for a friend and then started making his own duct tape wallets in many colors and styles with his neighbor in high school, he has always loved bringing his creative (at times, too creative...) visions to life and sharing them with others.
