Mott Family Farm

After our sons made Brian breakfast and he opened his Father’s Day’ presents, we spent the day at his cousin’s farm with Jeff and his wife Shelly and their two older boys who are 11 and 8. They also have a baby boy who is 9 months old. They are wonderful people, really good and kind people. It was a blast to see them again and spend the day on their farm! We hadn’t seen them since the Christmas holidays.

They live and work on an all-natural farm on which they produce organic produce. The farm holds the official label of “Certified Naturally Grown” which means they do not use chemicals of any kind and practice permaculture. The farm is off the grid! They got a great deal on solar equipment from another farmer who got on the grid.

Here’s a good article about their farm: Local family meets needs, works to change countryside

Their page on Guernsey County Farmers Market website.

The way they live has had a big influence on us and is a huge source of inspiration! Here are some pictures of their farm, and you can see more on my flickr:
