Our Story

Who We Are

Since 2021 the Tuck Family have been working with an amazing team, to transform 82 acres of dry and degraded landscape into a productive, sustainable farm.

 

​

What We Do

Hay and Alfalfa:  We grow high quality hay and alfalfa crops, across about 50 acres. Thanks to Dale, our small bales are very popular with horse owners. 

​​

Agroforestry ​Plantings: Partnering with the Bindweed School of Agroecology and Dryland Agroecology Research (DAR) we've planted over 1,600 native trees and shrubs. Planting on contour, we aim to rehydrate the land, grow niche food crops, and provide forage and habitat for wildlife.

​

Prairie Grass Restoration: A regenerative grazing program was implemented in 2025 with meat cattle and dairy goats. The long term goal is to see native prairie grassland species restored to about 20 acres. We are learning so much from the process!

​

​Heritage Orchard: Planting the orchard was easy - the hardest part is waiting for our "lost" apple tree varieties to bear fruit. For decades no-one has tasted their produce, we hope it will be worth the wait!

 

Pollinator garden: Planted in 2025 we've been feeding the bees, making lavender jelly/ice cream /bags, blending teas and look forward to creating tinctures.

​

Food Production:  ​​Our vegetable patch is currently one big experiment. Expanding every year as the soil improves, it provides nutritionally dense food for local humans and farm livestock.​​

​

Eggs n Ham:  Having worked hard to make historic barn habitable, we were excited to welcome layer hens and more pigs in 2026. Look out for our pork shares!

Wassailing for the Apple Trees

Wassailing is an ancient midwinter English tradition of singing, making noise, and blessing apple trees to ward off evil spirits and ensure a bountiful harvest. 

​

Key Traditions of the Ceremony

  • Making Noise: Participants bang pots and pans, shout, and blow horns in the branches to scare away bad spirits.

  • Feeding the Trees: Celebrants soak pieces of toast or bread in hot cider and hang them in the tree branches as an offering to robins or orchard spirits.

  • Pouring Cider: Warm cider is poured around the roots of the main trees to nourish and bless them. 

  • Singing and Toasting: People gather around the oldest tree, sing traditional wassail songs, and drink spiced, mulled cider.

Adrian is obviously very excited!!  More information coming....
