In the early 1940s Emil and Hilda Rockacy purchased thirteen acres of land in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They built the existing farmhouse and fed their family with the produce they grew and preserved, and the meat and dairy from the animals they raised. In a time before all-natural growing methods were widely practiced, they utilized them on their farm. In 2006, I moved to the farm and began the process of restoring it to a working piece of land. Respecting tradition and the ecosystem of the farm, we continue to raise food without the use of chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. We employ sustainable agricultural practices which require the production of safe, healthy food and respect for all aspects of the farm by nurturing the soil, treating the animals humanely, and complimenting the natural ecosystem..
