We are happy to announce that Little Sprouts Farm has joined the organization Thrive, which promotes local healthy food sources. This organization is working hard to build up the local small farm and assist in managing and marketing farm products, as well as raising community awareness of the differences available to consumers.
A new addition to Thrive is the online farmers market, which allows customers to go online, browse, and place weekly orders for fresh local farm products. It much like visiting a farmers market, but can be done in the comfort of your own home, and in any weather, any time of the year. There is even an option for home or business delivery of products ordered!

One of the big advantages for us is that we can list the products that we have from week to week, with no obligation other than to deliver what we offer after it is sold. This relieves some of the effort in marketing and sales, allowing us to concentrate for now on getting the farm running smoothly. It seems like a perfect companion to a startup farm operation.
We are also very happy to support the efforts of Thrive in raising awareness of the food choices available today.
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.
