The Apple Family
Farm is operated by Mark, Debbie, Brayden and Rhayna Apple. We are privileged to be the third
and fourth
generations to farm this land in McCordsville, Indiana. We believe that the
future of farming must include a resurgence of the small family farm. Our
neighbors should know where their food is coming from and be able to reconnect
with neighborhood farms. Our customers have the privilege of buying eggs from the same farm that
Viola Apple's customers visited during the 1930's and 40's.
We employ a natural approach to farming, without the use of chemicals, hormones
or antibiotics. We raise chickens, sheep, beef and dairy cows. All
of our animals are raised on pasture and are able to get all the grass and
sunshine they need. All of our chickens are raised on grass with full access to
our pastures to ensure healthier, better tasting meat and eggs . Most of our
animals are rare breeds that are not well suited to high production farming but
they fit
in nicely with our philosophy of the smaller family farm.
Our customers enjoy being able to come to the farm to see how their food is
raised. We are encouraged by the satisfaction that is expressed by our customers
who appreciate the effort we take in providing healthy and delicious food.
Our goal is to provide the healthiest food for our neighbors, while contributing
to the health of our community and protecting the health of our environment. |
