Some of you have known this place for years as Humble Heart Homestead, and if that's you, welcome back.

The heart of it hasn't gone anywhere. We've simply grown into something new, a farm with a store, a scoop stand, campsites, and a clearer sense of purpose than we've ever had. Same three acres, same hands, same animals. New name, deeper roots.

Everything here happens on three acres at the edge of Morrisville, close enough to town that you can walk to us. We’re from the city and we like being in the thick of it all. We like showing that food can, and should, be grown everywhere. We’re small enough that we know every animal and every bed of soil by heart. We raise our rabbits and birds in colonies and flocks that let them move, forage, and act like the animals they are, because we believe the way an animal lives shows up in the food it becomes. Nothing here is industrial and nothing here is anonymous. When you eat from this farm, you're eating from a place we can comfortably walk you across and be proud of every step.

Regenerative farming is a big word for a simple idea, that a farm should leave the land better than it found it. On our three acres that looks like feeding the soil instead of spraying it, composting everything we can, planting perennials that will outlive us, and moving animals across the land so they give back as much as they take. We're not chasing a certification or a buzzword. We're trying to farm in a way that would make sense to someone a hundred years ago and still make sense a hundred years from now. We are farming with dignity, care and respect as our guiding principles.

Rad is short for radical, and radical comes from the Latin radix, which means root.

It lives on in radicle, the name for the first root a seed sends down into the soil, the very first thing a plant does when it decides to grow.

To be radical isn't to be extreme. It's to go all the way down to the root of things.

That's how we farm, and it's how we think about food. Everyone eats, and everyone deserves food this good, and getting it back into everyday reach is root work too.

It's the whole reason this farm exists.
