OUR FARM
A Family Homestead on Lower Ravine Road.
We’re the Greenes. Our homestead sits on Lower Ravine Road just outside Norwich, and it feeds our family first — the same eggs, vegetables, and meat we deliver to yours.
What we raise
Laying hens and ducks for farm-fresh eggs, meat chickens, ducks, and rabbits raised on open pasture, and a garden that grows with the seasons — sweet corn, tomatoes, squash, peppers, beans, and more.
Straight talk about sourcing
We don’t grow everything we sell. When our own fields come up short, we hand-pick from growers we know and trust — and we’ll always tell you exactly where anything came from. Just ask.
Why we do this
Farming is how we make our living, but it is not why we farm. We are a Reformed Christian family, and this homestead is a calling before it is a business. Scripture opens in a garden: God’s first charge to mankind was to be fruitful, to subdue the earth, and to have dominion over every living thing (Genesis 1:28) — and He set the man in that garden to work it and to keep it (Genesis 2:15).
Dominion is not a license; it is a trust. None of this is really ours. “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1) — “every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10). The birds, the goats, the garden, the soil under Lower Ravine Road: they belong to God. We are stewards of His gifts, and we know we will give an account on the last day for everything He has put in our hands.
That conviction runs through all of it — how we care for the land and the animals, how we feed and treat our neighbors, how we deal when nobody is watching. Paul writes that we are ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). What we do on this farm reflects on our King, in the pasture, in the garden, and at your door.
Why we deliver free
Good food shouldn’t require a membership fee or a drive across the county. We deliver free in the Norwich and Syracuse areas — and to Binghamton free on orders over $20 — because that’s what it takes for real food to compete with the grocery store, and because we’d rather meet our neighbors than sit at a farm stand.
It goes deeper than price, though. We believe Americans should know where their food comes from. You should be able to talk to the farm that raised it, ask how the animals lived and how the produce was grown, and have real confidence it was done ethically. You cannot get that from a label at the grocery store. You get it from a farmer you know by name.
And truthfully, the personal connection matters most of all. We know every customer on our route by name. We know many of their stories, and some of their struggles. Some weeks the delivery is eggs and sweet corn; some weeks it comes with a conversation somebody needed. Our customers are not order numbers to us. They are neighbors, and we care about them well beyond what is in the box.
