After my own health turned around from a shift in diet, the importance of real, healthy food had finally sunk in.
But when I walked through the supermarket aisles, a new question rose up: Can I actually trust any of this—or has it all been greenwashed by millions of marketing dollars?
The more I dug, the more I saw the same dysfunction in our food system that I had experienced in our healthcare system. And I couldn’t shake the question: How can I know for sure that the food I’m eating is truly good for me?
That’s when I started working on farms. From small homesteads to larger operations, one truth became clear: when the health of the soil comes first, nourishing and delicious food follows.
I learned quickly that livestock are essential to this process. Their manure and natural behaviors feed the soil, which in turn feeds us. But I also saw the hard truth—many farms with good intentions weren’t financially sustainable. Some relied on donations or off-farm income. Others compromised their ethics to survive.
When I met Rachael, we decided to grow food the right way, just for ourselves. No corners cut. And after sharing meals with family and friends, the same request kept coming up: “Could you raise one extra pig (or chicken or cow) for me? I want this food. Food that I can trust.”
Eventually, we said yes. And that’s how Wild Harmony Farm was born.
The journey hasn’t always been easy, but our principles have never wavered. At Wild Harmony Farm, we raise food that:
-
Heals the land through regenerative practices
-
Respects the animals by letting them live as nature intended
-
Nourishes families with food they can trust
That’s what brought us here, and it’s what keeps us going.
