HEALTHY PLANTET HOMESTEAD
About Healthy Plantet Homestead
A sub-one-acre, regenerative food forest out to make the future of food hyper local, better than organic, restorative, and fair pay. Our goal is to nurture the earth, our community, and our staff. We use no gas-powered machinery, no single-use plastics, no chemicals harmful to bees or other wildlife, pay a fair living wage, and regularly donate produce to our local community. As a tiny market farm, we grow a small amount of a huge variety of crops. Our primary crops are perennial: asparagus, rhubarb, tree and bush fruits, and edible and medicinal herbs. We also grow an extensive line of heirloom annuals, often in traditional ways, such as three sisters hills for beans, corn, and squash. We aim to provide folks with the staples they know and love, as well as introduce them to new perennial favorites that are kinder to the environment and farmers alike. We also propagate these perennial plants and make them available for sale to folks who'd like to start their own little patch of perennial paradise. Our bread and butter, so to speak, is an annual 8-month CSA: a weekly produce subscription box, starting in spring and ending in early winter. We deliver from Spruce Pine to Weaverville. This is the best way to sample a huge variety of both common and unique produce, and to support our mission. Given our wide variety of produce, we also make an extensive line of farm-grown jams, jellies, pickles, elderberry syrup, and freeze-dried treats, plus medicinal salves and lip balms, and fully biodegradable castile soap/shampoo bars and conditioner bars. We also love working with professional chefs, whether it's to keep them in a steady supply of fresh herbs, or to provide the best in seasonal ephemerals. Lastly, we keep a beloved and very spoiled flock of laying hens whose waste is used to fertilize our tree crops. Find us every Saturday at the Yancey County Farmers Market, come visit our on-farm honor stand for produce and preserves, or subscribe to our CSA for eight months of weekly produce!
