** Russet House Farm **
t Russet House Farm, our core values revolve around sustainable living, environmental stewardship, and educational outreach. Grounded in a biblical perspective on agrarianism, we strive to embody regenerative agriculture by integrating principles of faith, permaculture, and land management.

Central to our mission is the ethos of hospitality and education. As both a family home and a working farm, Russet House serves as a platform for exploring the harmonious relationship between permaculture, sustainable living, and radical Christian discipleship. Through retreats, Farm Days, workshops, and internships, we invite others to join us in this journey of discovery and growth.

As we transition towards becoming a fully operational permaculture farm, we extend a warm invitation to individuals eager to engage with our ethos and practices. Our annual heirloom tomato plant sale in the spring provides an opportunity for the community to participate in our endeavors.

Located off-grid, Russet House Farm relies on solar-voltaic energy production, aligning with our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Our one-acre intensive garden, cultivated entirely by hand, yields a bounty of organic fruits and vegetables that sustain our household, volunteers, and interns year-round.

In addition to horticulture, our farm also engages in animal husbandry, including rare-breed Kerry cattle, pigs, horses, Muscovy ducks, and chickens. Through these diverse initiatives, Russet House Farm seeks to exemplify a holistic approach to sustainable living and environmental stewardship.

** Dorisdale Farm **
Richard, Peter's great grandfather, acquired this farm from Doriscroft, located just across the road, with the foresight that one of his sons would inherit a passion for farming. In the late 1920s, Peter's grandparents, Fred and Mae, made the move to this farm. After Fred's passing, Gerald and Bernadette assumed ownership in the early 1960s.

In 1999, Peter and Carolyn decided to transition from city life and relocated to the farm to raise their family. Today, their children represent the fifth generation of Doris' involved in the family farm. It brings us immense pride to uphold and carry forward this longstanding tradition of family farming.
