In 1957, after years of farming on leased land and saving their earnings, John Leo and Velma Hawkins purchased a ninety-nine acre farm outside of North Manchester, Indiana, in the Bluffton Till Plain region, choosing the place for its excellent soil and tending it with care. Three generations later, our family continues to steward the farm. Today, we raise poultry, hogs, cattle, and vegetables, farming by the example of our forbears while using the health and wholeness of soils, waters, plants, animals, and people as our standard–community supported agriculture at the confluence of nature and culture. Subscribe to our CSA or online Farm Stand, and join us for summer Fridays on the Farm, a dining experience for the whole family featuring artisan pizzas made with all-natural, locally-sourced ingredients and baked in an outdoor, wood-fired brick oven.
