Our Farm's Story
We are "accidental farmers". After having our first child and watching documentaries about how supermarket foods are produced, we decided we needed to change our lifestyle!
We fell in love with the small town of Tiverton, RI and found a 16 acre farm there. So we sold our house in Boston and moved to Rhode Island. We adopted some goats, bought 25 chickens for eggs and were set on starting our homestead. Our chickens started laying more eggs than we could eat, so we started selling the extra eggs to a farm to table restaurant. From there we met many amazing chefs in RI who were looking for fresh, locally raised, quality proteins and the farm was born!
The property had been inoperative for several years before we purchased it and all the thorny vines had taken over what once used to be pasture. We tried to clear them with our small tractor, but the vines came back the next spring. We read, watch videos, asked other farmers and learned by making mistakes. Along the way we discovered that using animals to clear the land and restore the pasture was the most effective, economical and green way of regenerating our land. This method also turns green plants into delicious protein!
Today we raise chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, sheep and goats. We work with the best chefs and restaurants in Rhode Island and have partnered with Coggeshall Farm Museum in Bristol to rejuvenate their pastures as well.
We are proud of our products, the sustainable way we raise our animals and the way so many amazing chefs are able to show off their skills using the best products they can get buy, direct from our farm.
We are committed to have a no waste farm. In 2020 we decided to purchase a food truck to be able to use less desired cuts of meat that do not sell. Starting the food truck has been a major hit. We emphasize Brazilian dishes since that is where Ester is from, but we cook dishes from around to world to showcase our meats and local veggies.
Most recently, we launched our farm fresh prepared meals - Eat Gnarly. You can now buy affordable farm to table meals direct from our farm - just heat and eat!
