About
One Sky Farm is located in western Morgan county where the last
glaciers stopped. The country side has many ravines and forested
areas. Our farm is surrounded on three sides by forest and has
three creeks flowing through it. We are frequented by many
migrating songbirds, cranes, herons, and waterfowl. We have a
resident coyote population that likes to run in a pack of up to
eight on moonlit nights.
Our farm is designed and operated to produce food, while making
as light a footprint on the land as we can manage. We have made
substantial reforestation and soil conservation efforts. In the
farm’s forests, we plant and cultivate at-risk eastern medicinal
herbs in an effort to reduce their population decline from habitat
loss and over-harvesting.
Very few inputs to the farm system come from far away. We
have composted over 75,000 lbs. of waste vegetable material
from Roots Restaurant and collect spoiled hay from neighbors to
feed our soil. We also pasture raise our ducks in a peach orchard
for the health of the birds and the health of the trees. Our mission
is to grow food naturally and give it everything it needs to keep
pests away for itself. We spray compost teas to enhance the
plants’ built-in self-defense mechanisms; which means low insect
and disease pressure, no need for toxic chemical controls, and
foods with all the proper nutrition for humans.
