Why "Frog Haven Farm"?

The name of our homestead comes from a mix of local magic and a deeply personal lifelong love.

I have always felt a spiritual connection to frogs that I can’t quite put into words. They are creatures that simply bring me pure happiness every single time I see one. Shortly after moving in, we discovered that our new home was a haven for them. Every night, tiny tree frogs gather to hang out on our patio, and the darkness is filled with the beautiful, grounding sound of toads singing across the property.

As we looked toward the future—planning to expand the garden beds and eventually introduce new livestock—the frogs reminded us of our core mission. We don’t want to dominate this land; we want to work with it.

Frog Haven Farm represents our commitment to regenerative agriculture. We are growing our homestead in a way that protects, enhances, and feeds the local ecosystem rather than disrupting it, ensuring our property remains a safe sanctuary for the wildlife, the singing toads, and our family.

Our "Learning Out Loud" Philosophy

We don’t have a lifetime of commercial farming experience, and we make it a point to learn out loud. We think it's important to be completely honest about that.

Whether we are managing our pasture-raised laying flock, tending to our traditional Three Sisters garden mounds, or formulating chemical-free personal care products from scratch at the kitchen counter—we only share what has truly worked for our own family.

Every jar of tooth powder, stick of tallow deodorant, and carton of hand-candled eggs is a direct reflection of this homestead. Everything we make is transparent, honest, and crafted with care right here at the haven.

Where We Are Going

We believe that homesteading is a journey, not a destination. Over the next few years, we are excited to expand our pastures to include meat chickens, pasture-raised pigs, and sheep, alongside a continuously growing vegetable and herb garden.

We are currently building a roadside farmstand from the ground up right here on our property. We want it to be a physical hub for our Fort Valley neighbors to come grab fresh, hand-candled Grade A eggs, seasonal goods, and natural products!
