FARM VALUES

We've been around the block enough to know that there are no quick fixes when it comes to true Revival. Heck, it’s not even easy to tear down an old barn (trust us), much less restore one. But we also know that the best things in life aren’t easy. Fortunately, we love hard work and aren’t afraid of getting our hands dirty.

For us, “sustainable management” isn’t just a buzzword, it is a promise to our children that the farm will be theirs one day and that it will be better than they remembered. For us, “value-added products” aren’t a side hustle, they’re the future of farming. Our products, distilled spirits, beef, or anything else, are intimately connected to our land because that’s the only way we can promise they’ll be the absolute best.

To some, tired old farms are a symbol of failure, of simpler times that are out of reach. But to us, they’re an opportunity to marry the best of the past – fertile soil, a bucolic landscape, historic buildings – with an unapologetically optimistic vision of the future – locally-sourced products, innovative techniques, vibrant communities. Restoration is the first step; striking boldly into a future of our own design is the next.

It’s probably no coincidence that spending your days striving for improvement is good for the spirit too. And that’s the other half of what we’re doing: we want people to feel good about what they do and happy to live where they do. Too often we hear people saying, “these are grim times” without pausing to consider that things have been much worse. Society is far from perfect, but it will only get better if we get to work with the honest belief that we can improve it. We truly believe there’s never been a better time to be alive!

We are a stew of city-slickers, cowboys, reprobates,
tree-huggers and adventurers. We come from
- and work in - the four corners of the globe.
We choose the best life.
