About Holly Evans

I have been farming with my husband for over a decade, and farming has been our primary income source that whole time. Before starting our own farm we worked on dozens of different farms across the country and world, and have been refining our approach for years. Using no machinery, just hand tools and permanent raised beds, we make a go of it by minimizing our inputs.
