Earth's Promise Farm
About Earth's Promise Farm
Earth's Promise Farm is a USDA Certified Organic Farm in Shelbyville, KY specializing in pastured poultry and sustainability education. We are not among the small farmers that reject organic certification because of the perception that the USDA is trying to close down small family farms. Instead, we believe that small family farmers must seek organic certification in order to preserve organics. If the small family farmer abandons organics the only organic producers left will be big agribusiness. We've had six years on this farm raising an organic garden for our family but 2006 was our first year that we could call ourselves "farmers". We have a produce CSA for whom we raise certified organic produce. We have a passive solar and active solar building that is our farm office. We hope to add a certified kitchen in the office soon, so that we can produce value-added products that we can sell to restaurants and through retail stores. We are developing a sustainable buying club in order to advance the formation of a community of people who are focused on sustainability in the greater Louisville area.Near This Listing
