On 3 acres in Morrisville we are working to create a resilient, sustainable food forest.
From the beginning the vision of Humble Heart Homestead was simple: transform what was once a productive dairy farm, and more recently a monocropped corn field, into a diverse and fecund sanctuary. To share the work we are doing with others - through educational opportunities, farm stays and community events.
A project like this will always be in process, but much has been done to actualize our goals. We have planted over 100 perennial fruit trees and shrubs, added yards and yards of organic compost, and created a small market garden. We currently have a flock of about 60 ducks and chickens for eggs and meat, and three beehives to pollinate our plants and provide the gift of honey. Across the farm we are proud to be chemical free - from hay to mulch to feed for our birds. Who by the way, eat certified organic grains from Morningstar Farm right here in Glover, VT. When you visit us you’ll meet our energetic and friendly German Shorthaired Pointers, Wendell our Golden puppy, our 3 barn cats and of course Otis our rooster and Pom Pom the duck.
Looking ahead, the goals of Humble Heart Homestead remain unchanged. Create more diversity, grow nutrient dense, chemical free food, add plants and animals with intention and care. We love to host our guests, get to know our camp families and welcome farmers from around the world to work and grow together. We look forward to connecting with you!
