The Noble Farm

“Our family farm growing your family’s food.”

We are a small family farm in Saint Charles County Missouri. We sell lamb, pork, beef, cut flowers, and honey, and run a very very small CSA for our neighbors in Josephville. We are trying to farm and ranch regeneratively, building health in the soil, the ecosystem, our bodies, and our community. We want to feed our friends and family this fantastic food. We want to enable and encourage others to feed themselves as well. 

We also like sharing what we learn with others. It has been a steep mountain of learning these past few years, a mountain we are and probably always will be climbing. But as we go, we absolutely love bringing others with us, teaching them to become more self-reliant, teaching them the skills and knowledge needed to grow, raise, and preserve their own food.
