About Us

We are Nolan and Casandra Greenwall our children are Alexis, Emily, Bayne, and Finn. I, Casandra, was born into a dairy farming family, which was later changed to beef and they dabbled with sheep as well. Being raised alongside animals was a wonderful childhood, the farmyard was filled with some of my bestfriends and some of my greatest life lessons. 

When I was 13 my family was in a car accident which changed the trajectory of life for my family, we had to get out of farming. Growing up I always thought I would be a farmer. When Nolan and I started our family we lived in town for a while, but I missed the animals and country life desperately. I wanted my children to grow up knowing the intimate connection with their food sources and to participate in growing food and in turn be participants in their own health. 

My early adult years were filled with sickness, which kept leading us back to the root cause of my disease/sickness... food. While that is a very important why for our story, it really is a story in itself so lets move on for now.

We were a young family and we had decided to have a large family and homeschool our children. This left us living a pretty frugal lifestyle on only one income. While I wanted us to be eating organic we simply couldn't afford to. Over the years we continued to expand our naturally grown gardens, no chemicals, etc. By doing this we started to realize that my food restrictions where not due to the foods themselves, as when they were homegrown I was perfectly fine to consume them. 

During this time we had been building our waterfowl business, we work with birds that need conservation efforts to help bring their numbers back up and away from extinction. I love working with our birds, and I feel they fit very well into a permaculture farm. I feel called to help improve the status of these birds. We ferment our grains, since they are a trigger for me, we found that I can eat this pasture raised, fermented grain meat with no negative repercussions to my health. With this new knowledge we added in Chantecler chickens and Sweetgrass turkey with the birds living on pasture grasses in the warm months and supplemented with fermented grains, I can now happily consume our homegrown organic, non-GMO, non-soy, non-corn feed meat birds. We are taking a break from offering OFSO butchering to customers for 2024, but we are milling-over adding butchering classes under our OFSO license in the future years.

In spring of 2023, our lives and farm grew yet again. We started building our house on property that has been passed through my family for years. We still have a lot of work cut out for us, not only finishing our home but building up our yard and pastures for current animals and future species.

Once we have our home and farmstead built up we look forward to adding in hair sheep, milk cows, beef cattle, and swine, over the coming years, to help produce more of our own food. 

In spring of 2024, we are starting a new adventure of growing garden seedlings to sell. We are very excited to be adding in another 'real food' product that we can share with our customers. 95% of our seedlings will be heirloom or open pollination and are our own garden favorites! The other 5% are hybrid seedlings that we choose to grow for their production aspects, these are far and few between as we really do prefer heirloom varieties. When growing in a short season area and to feed a family of 6 both with fresh and preserving for the long winters, sometimes hybrids are my go to for certain things. We also seed save and I'm looking forward to expanding gardens this year (2024) so that we can offer seedlings from the seeds that will be more acclimatized to our local area! We will be working hard to get our area and house setup well this year, and look forward to offering classes for seed-saving, starting seedlings, and growing indoors in the coming years! Of course all plants grown and started here are naturally-grown, we do not use chemicals, chemical fertilizers, et cetera on our own food products and we would never dream of using them on plants meant for others either.
