Business Detailed:
|
My farm is located in Huron County, Ohio. My name is Chuck Murray and I moved here in 2001 and purchased 35 acres of what was once the original homestead for a 500+ acre working farm. There is a long history of farming at the property going back to the early settlers of Clarksfield Township in the 1800's. Crops, dairy cows, hogs, cattle, chickens and horses were raised here. It was one of the first sustainable farms in the country.
The farm has very fertile soil from previous years of animal grazing. The land had not been farmed for almost 20 years when it was purchased. It is very rich in compost, tiled and full of nutrients. There are 25 acres of tillable land and pastures of which two to five acres are used for vegetable crops. The remaining acres consist of the house, creek, flower beds, outbuildings, and a rolling front yard. The vegetables are grown naturally, as nature intended. We use raised beds, plastic mulch and drip tape for irrigation.
