Blueberries, blackberries, seasonal vegetables and eggs. All-natural, no chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Just the way we like it. |
Who We Are
We are Cale and Becky Kimmons and we have two daughters - Bailey and Peyton. We also receive tons of support from our parents, Mike and Judith Kimmons and Tom and Pam Johnson. We could not do it without the whole family! We purchased 18 acres in 2013 and began the work of building a farm. Pleasant Union Farm is a working farm. Our main crop is blueberries, but we also grow blackberries, seasonal vegetables and cut flowers. The farm wouldn't be complete without our Nubian Dairy Goats and hens. We sell goats milk soap and lotion along with the free-range eggs at Farmer's Markets.

BlueberriesAll our bushes were planted by hand by our family. My husband (Cale) used his John Deere tractor (favorite purchase ever) to dig all 750 holes - no post hole diggers, thankfully. Then we placed the plants in each one - all 750. Each plant received Cottonseed meal for fertilizer - all natural, no chemicals. Then they were covered with pine bark mulch - the acid in the mulch is good for the plants. The rows received all natural mulch in between the plants for weed control and to hold in moisture. Finally, Cale put grass seed in between the rows to give you something nice to walk on as you pick. It's something we love doing, and you can see it in all our little plants.

Dairy GoatsOur goats provide tons of fresh, creamy milk that we use in our soaps and lotions. Goats milk contains alpha hydroxy acids, Vitamin A and emolients that help moisture absorb into your skin. Our soap and lotion is full of natural ingredients that are great for sensitive skin. We handcraft our soaps and lotions in small batches.

HensOur hens free-range during the day and get a supplement of feed to provide all the vitamins and minerals they need. They provide eggs in shades of brown, green and blue - which makes for a pretty and delicious dozen eggs! Try them scrambled for great taste or add them in your baking for higher rising breads and cakes.
