What does it mean to be organic? Mac will share more about his organic evolution and why it makes a difference in the food we grow and eat.
Here at Elmwood Stock Farm we work hard to bring wholesome and delicious organic produce, meats and more from our fields to your plate. But we believe that growing healthy food can have an even bigger impact that goes far beyond the dinner table. You’re invited to discover what it means to not only nourish ourselves but a healthier planet while learning about our organic and regenerative farming practices during our Nourishment farm tours!
Each two-hour tour will touch on many of the techniques employed at Elmwood Stock Farm, including greenhouse production systems, pastured poultry and pigs, grass-fed cattle and sheep, vegetable growing, soil building, ecologically sustainable agriculture, and beneficial insects, to name a few. You’ll get a taste of daily life here at the farm while learning about the ways we feed our community and the ecosystems that surround us.

About Elmwood Stock Farm
Elmwood Stock Farm, in Georgetown, Kentucky, is a sixth-generation family farm that began as a producer of Black Angus breeding-stock cattle. The cattle are still an important part of the farm ecosystem and farm business, though the farm now produces organic vegetables, fruits, meats and eggs.
Elmwood Stock Farm is committed to healthy and wholesome production of superior, high-quality, fresh farm products. Organic certification and close family involvement ensure that safe and sustainable farming practices are followed, livestock are well cared for, and land and water conservation remain a priority. Elmwood's produce, eggs and meats can be found at their on-site farm store, farmers markets, local restaurants and grocery stores, and through its CSA Farm Share in Kentucky and Cincinnati.
