A Small (but mighty) New England Homestead on a Mission.
To go forward we must go back. To cleanse our minds we must dirty our hands. To nourish our bodies, we must understand the soil. To feed our souls we must move our bodies. To fix the system, we must work together with intention.
All Paths Lead Here.
Set on 13 peaceful acres, Shadow Birch Farm is a place where the beauty of land and sea come together. Just a short drive from the historic shores and rugged coastlines of Mystic, CT, the farm features pockets of lush forests where ramps grow and the vibrant energy of the nearby ocean. It's a space shaped by nature and family.
It is here in Ledyard, CT where our passion for fixing the food system takes root. By raising animals with care and growing produce without shortcuts, we’re taking a stand for a better, healthier way of eating. Every product from our farm is a step toward a cleaner, more natural future for your table and ours.
The journey here began with a passion for food that has taken us around the world with our 3 girls. From summers spent on farms and in wineries across France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Mexico, we found inspiration in the land, the people, and the ingredients that nourish us. With a deep belief in the power of good ‘ole honest, chemical-free food, and a passion for unique culinary experiences, we searched long and hard for the right piece of land. We are thrilled and honored to call New England our home and are excited for this new chapter in life, learning, and community.
Cheers!
