Danny grew up in the mountains nearby + spent many years as a working artist before becoming interested in farming.
 

Alena grew up in the deciduous jungles of the Southeast + has spent the last decade+ as an organic farmer + native plant gardener.

 

We have two sweet puppies, Persimmon + Tenzin, who are learning how to eat flowers + hunt for gophers (Tenzin is the black pup in the picture). 

​

We met during an apprenticeship at a medicinal herb farm + have been growing plants + making medicine together ever since.

​

We believe that growing + producing local medicine is our way to contribute to a more just + sustainable world, where healthcare is centered first within ourselves.  We hope to connect folks more firmly to the magic of plants.

​

In addition, we have expanded our farm in the last three years to include more than a half-acre of organic cut flowers for market, which has been a new joy in our farm world.

​

Night herons are a grouchy, beloved bird of the liminal spaces where salt + fresh waters collide, keepers of the marshes, bogs + estuaries that are some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world. We hold these birds + the secret, hidden worlds they contain + guard as a goal for our own agricultural practices, where diversity + wildness + many different worlds are respected + cultivated.
