My parents bought this land and built a house here over 25 years ago, and now my husband and I have joyfully returned to the area after living out-of-state for years. Our goal is to make the farm into a sustainable small farm, using a combination of livestock rotational grazing, specialty produce and plants, and agritourism. We currently offer lamb and gourmet garlic.
My desire to grow things stems from my parents. They always have a large garden, and my father also plants orchards and small fruits wherever they live, while my mom especially enjoys flowers and herbs. One summer, I came home to visit and found my dad had planted over 100 pepper plants, with my mom in the kitchen bravely cranking out batch after batch of salsa. Another year, I came home to acres of sunflowers, a sight to behold! Because of that amazing image in my head, I chose the name “Sunflower Hill Farm” for our business. My hope is that the farm will inspire others like I was inspired by my parents.
