planting our roots in the land
Like most things good, it took time to make Sawmill Hollow our home. We started off with a house, an inherited eco-system, and a dog who thinks he is human. From there, we developed our concept of organic farming — a mission to farm with nature and to reintroduce the properity-rich aronia berry to America,
Ever since, our idyllic organic farm has happily been a gathering place for family and friends. When we planted our farm in its uniquely isolated setting, we had the special opportunity to cultivate earth that had never been touched by chemical. We chose not to be just organic farmers, but set out do something more. We decided to create an ecological farm, where we would preserve and promote life and vitality. In effect, we have developed a sustainable mini-ecosystem.
It is our hope to be a part of a movement that will build stronger, healthy rural communities, which through positive farming, gardening, local support, and innovative thinking can improve the lives of Americans. This is why we sponsor an annual aronia festival where aronia berry products and locally grown foods are served; while local artisans display their crafts. This is a great way to gather and bring exposure to locals and their hard work.
It is always our pleasure to help new farmers get started, share ideas, and work together to build a better earth. If you have any questions or a group that would like to raise money—please contact us. We love the opportunity to share the view of the hills and welcome the opportunity to pick berries with us.
