Fresh Acres was founded in 2016 when two crazy corporate types decided to take a leap into farming. Our founding mission is to produce healthy, locally grown food to feed your family, as well as our own. We are not certified organic, but we grow in an organic manner. We purchase non-GMO seeds from carefully sourced seed companies. We also raise animals on the farm, closer to the way God intended them to be raised – free-range / pasture-raised, and supplemented with soy-free, transitional-organic feed. In 2018, we added to our mission by sharing the farm with others through our Fall Festival, centered around a corn maze and pumpkin patch. We have many of the additional activities one would expect at a Fall Festival, including a petting zoo, inflatables, combine slide, yard games, corn cannon, bale mountain, and more. We also have food trucks onsite each weekend. Keeping with our mission, our corn maze is grown with non-GMO seed and we avoid using chemicals as much as possible (we have used synthetic chemicals when there is no other option to irradicate a certain weed type (cough cough – thistles!), but we minimize this as much as possible by weighing the pros and cons).
