A Word About Our Name

Quilters are familiar with the simple but elegant quilt design called a ninepatch, in which nine simple or plain pieces are joined together to make a patch and then the patches joined to create a quilt.
On a macro scale that is what we are doing on our farm: joining a number of small enterprises (pastured poultry, grassfed beef, beekeeping, pastured pork, raising garlic, making soap) to create a farmstead that is attractive and useful. The colors in our logo reflect healthy soil and water and the green grass that is integral to our farm and joins all the pieces.
And, of course, there’s the fact that we have nine children!
