we bought twenty-four acres of hayfield and hardwood in 2024.

A small family farm in Courtland Township, West Michigan — run slow, on purpose.

Before this

Both of us worked corporate jobs in Grand Rapids. One of us still does.

We drove past this ground for a couple years before it went up for sale. Bought it in two parcels, from two neighboring families. Closed on it, looked at each other, started reading books about chickens.

Why Beulah

A married land.

Beulah comes from Isaiah 62:4 —

you shall be called Beulah; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. Isaiah 62:4

A married land. That's the work: love something small long enough that it starts to love you back.

How we do things

Five ways we stay small.

we close friday sundown to saturday sundownExodus 20:8–10
we sell direct, never through a middleman
we don't put our kids online
we only promise what's actually in the barn
we keep it slow — if it isn't ready, it isn't for sale

What's next

Year 2: goats.

Grazing services after that. More saffron each fall. The cottage kitchen when Michigan's law takes effect March 2026. The email list is how you'll hear first.

— our family.

Small batches, honest labels, picked up at the farm.
