Tucked into the rolling hills of the Cumberland Plateau in Rickman, Tennessee, halfway between Nashville and Knoxville, our small family-run farm is a living testament that dreams can take root.We proudly raise AMBA-registered heritage Meishan pigs alongside pastured chickens and turkeys. From our happy laying hens come vibrant, farm-fresh eggs; our micro-bakery yields crusty artisan sourdough breads; and our gardens burst with lush flowering shrubs and organic vegetables.All of this is nurtured using regenerative principles that improve the land. We are guided by a simple belief: healthy soil grows healthy plants, healthy animals, and, ultimately, healthier people. We invite you to visit us and taste the difference that a deep respect for nature can make.

I’m a one-woman micro-bakery coaxing yesterday’s starter into today’s masterpieces. No commercial yeast, no shortcuts, just high protein organic flour, filtered water, sea salt, and time. Every loaf is shaped by hand, fermented long and slow for that open, honeycombed crumb that pulls apart with a whisper and a crust that shatters like glass.To receive weekly notifications about what's fresh and available, please sign up for Hotplate.Your meals deserve this kind of love!
These eggs are sunshine-in-a-shell! Laid just yesterday by our flock of 30 happy hens scratching and sunbathing in their spacious run out back. The girls strut around like they own the place, pecking bugs, persimmons, leafy greens, and organic layer mash, with zero cages, zero stress, and daily doses of apple-cider vinegar in their water to keep feathers glossy and immune systems bulletproof.You can see and taste the difference. Deep golden yolks that stand tall in the pan, rich enough to make your breakfasts legendary!


These aren't your factory-farmed bruisers. Meishans are heritage breed royalty and the queens of fertility, dropping litters of 12 to 20 chunky piglets twice a year with zero fuss and a famously gentle temperament that lets kids bottle-feed 'em without a squeal. They are the ultimate homestead hog that'll turn your farm into a self-sustaining pork paradise.Raised on organic feed without hormones or antibiotics, the meat is deep red and heavily marbled like Waygu beef. It is considered among the finest pork available and sought after by chefs and artisan producers for its unmatched taste and texture. We like to call it the other red meat!Our pure-bred Meishan piglets are weaned at 8 weeks and pasture-raised with daily handling. These friendly, hardy pigs thrive anywhere. Whether you’re building a homestead, starting a niche pork business, or simply want the friendliest, most productive pigs on the planet, Meishans deliver generations of proven performance in an adorable, wrinkly package.We will have a fresh litter of 8-week-old piglets ready in Spring 2026. Swing by the fence line this weekend, or get in touch to reserve yours before they're all snapped up by folks who know a great pig when it oinks!
