apprenticeship at farm girl natural foods

We’re a grass-fed livestock farm in Central Arkansas run by our young family of four. We use humane, sustainable farming practices to produce artisan animal products for a niche market of quality-conscious customers. We are deep in the process of developing and expanding from a moderately profitable side-business to a full time enterprise.

foundation farm is still for sale!

and the price has been lowered to $89,000.

Amazingly enough we are selling Foundation Farm.

We are “rebooting” our farming dream-machine yet another time with a new farm projected out for 2010/2011 not very far from here.  Our plan is to attract an organic farmer to our community by offering Foundation Farm, a reputed  farm with a proven track record of sales and fertility, waiting to be further developed.

Here follows some essential information about the farm.  For those interested, the documents listed below in “Appendix” can be mailed to you.
