For over three generations, the Johnson family has been growing vegetables and raising livestock in Marion County using methods passed down through their family.
"We've always believed in working with nature, not against it," says Tom Johnson, who runs the farm with his wife Sarah and their two children. "My grandfather taught me that if you take care of the soil, the soil will take care of your crops. And if you take care of your animals, they'll take care of you."
The Johnsons never use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers on their crops. Instead, they rely on crop rotation, natural compost, and beneficial insects to maintain soil health and manage pests.
Their commitment to traditional farming methods has earned them a reputation for producing some of the most flavorful and nutritious food in the region.
"When people taste our tomatoes or lettuce for the first time, they often tell us they had forgotten what real food tastes like," Sarah says. "That's the biggest reward for all our hard work."
Try Their ProductsOur farmers build healthy soil through crop rotation, cover cropping, and natural compost. They never use synthetic fertilizers that can damage soil microbiomes and leach into waterways.
Instead of toxic pesticides, our farmers use companion planting, beneficial insects, and physical barriers to manage pests. These methods protect both the environment and the nutritional quality of the food.
Many of our farmers grow heritage and heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables, preserving genetic diversity and offering superior flavor compared to commercial varieties bred for shipping and shelf life.
Animals on our partner farms are raised with respect, given access to pasture, and fed natural diets appropriate to their species. No hormones or preventative antibiotics are ever used.
Our farmers implement water conservation practices such as drip irrigation, rainwater collection, and drought-resistant plantings to minimize water usage while maintaining crop health.
From composting plant waste to reusing materials, our farmers strive to create closed-loop systems that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency.
