5 acre farm. 2 acres under production. No fragrance oils or parabens. Only the best food grade oils used. No synthetic dyes or chemical additives used. Organic flowers & herbs from our micro farm. Handcrafted in small batches. Family run business. Cold Process Soap retains glycerine- a natural moisturizer. No "film" is left on your skin despite Dove TV commercial claims. The only thing left on your skin is a natural moisturizing glycerine barrier (that is removed from their soaps to sell as a byproduct). Handmade soap is different from soap that you buy from the grocery. It’s much better! We love making pure "good for our family" products that you can use to bless your family!

Earthways Farm has 35 acres with approximately 20 under production as pastures and hay fields. We are interested in preserving heritage breeds and have Tunis Sheep & Suffolk-Punch draft hoses, both listed on the ALBC's preservation list (American Livestock Breed Conservancy). Tunis sheep are known to have delicious meat, no matter the age of the animal, and are listed on the “Arc of Taste” list compiled by “SlowFood USA”. They were plentiful in the early years of this country mostly in the southern states, but were nearly wiped out during the Civil War. Since that time, their numbers have been increasing on many farms across the United States. We also hope to start a flock of heritage breed poultry soon. We sell Tunis lamb meat (individual cuts or whole animals for butchering), Tunis breeding stock, wool and eggs from a variety of free range hens. We also offer longarm-quilting services.

Justin and Gail would like to introduce you to their Natural Goodness Garden. Currently the garden is in a growth stage. Under a new partnership the re-birth looks to be very promising. Our goal is to cater to the community around us by bringing chemical free and non GMO fruits and vegetables to as many families as the garden will allow. We have 16 raised beds along with a greenhouse, many crates and use various other innovative gardening techniques. We would like to grow the specific needs of clients through CSA shares, All Things Foods, and WIC while giving back to the community by donating to local food banks. We have a winter growing plan set in place using hotbeds and our greenhouse in order to be able to bring you the goodness of summer all year long.

Justin has many years of gardening, homesteading and self sustaining experience while Gail is constantly researching new ideas. Together we plan to bring healthy foods directly to your tables. Christian based and family oriented we always encourage visitors to bring their families to the garden. Like us on Facebook for updates or feel free to contact either of us for a tour or to learn more about the growth of the garden.

I want to be kind to the earth so it can take care of us. That leads to many things. Eating and using locally produced items decreases oil consumption. Local production is more likely to be responsible to the consumer and earth. I want to decrease the herbicide and pesticide consumption. I want an opportunity to nurture.

100 acres. 40 cows. Sonshine Valley Beef Farm, owned and operated by Gary and Sandy Stuckey, has been a grass based farm for over 20 years. This farm first provided luscious grasses and clover for dairy cows for over 15 years and has now transistioned into raising Red Angus beef cattle. During the winter the cattle are fed excellent quality alfalfa silage bales. In the spring the cattle begin grazing on the pastures at which time many of the calves are born in the open air. Rotational grazing with choice grasses, clover, and alfalfa using no herbicides or pesticides makes for a beef that is high in Omega fatty acids which is very important in the health of the human body. Our grass fed beef is all natural, lean, and free of hormones, making it a high quality and nutritious product to serve your familiy.

Our journey into the all natural market began several years ago when I realized I couldn't pronounce a lot of the ingredients in the products I was using. When I began to look them up I learned that most of the things I could not pronounce were chemicals that my body probably did not appreciate. I began to make products for my own family, began learning about essential oils and natural products, and when I decided I wanted to share these products, Three Sevens Naturals was born! I personally make all of the all natural products we offer. They are handcrafted in small batches and before we offer a product for sale, it is something my own family has used, and something we believe in.
