Key role of a farmer
” …gardening and raising livestock is more than just a hobby.”
Meet Your Farmer – Megan Thomas
“ I have an undergraduate degree in history and a masters of library and information science….. how did I end up wanting to farm? As a student, the things most important to me were research and access to information.
When I applied that passion to figuring out what to eat – I learned the key role a farmer plays and discovered gardening and raising livestock could be more than just a hobby. “
We live in a world that tries to hide where our food comes from and what is in it. Healthy food is important to me and growing my own became the solution to accessing it. I wanted to know how my vegetables were grown and what kind of life the animals had. Did the chickens get to scratch around in the dirt? Were the pigs happy? Were vegetables grown in soil that was being improved year after year with natural composting methods? Or was it being depleted of nutrients and exhausted? Eating healthy became more than just what I ate, but how the production methods impact the environment and our community.
Perry’s Corners Farm is the location of an old school….AND our farming practices reflect the traditional diversified family farm. We believe the key to a happy, healthy life is in the food we eat. We produce REAL FOOD from animals raised in their natural environment and vegetables grown in healthy soil.
