Overview
At Hedge Apple Acres, we raise beef cattle, hair sheep, meat goats, and honey bees using regenerative grazing practices that focus on soil health, rotational grazing, and long-term sustainability. We're working toward a low-cost, resilient production model—one that not only supports our family but also leaves the land better than we found it.
While we currently market through salebarns, we’re steadily moving toward direct-to-consumer sales, so more folks can enjoy food raised the right way. We're transitioning our herd toward South Poll cattle, drawn by their adaptability and grass-efficiency.
The name comes from the hedge apple tree (Maclura pomifera), a tough, long-lived native that’s always inspired us. Like the tree, we want the farm to be strong, rooted, and around for generations to come.
