Soil Shepherd Farm

Soil Shepherd Farm sits on the north shore of Big Long Lake in LaGrange County, tending a small but intentional operation built around one core belief: healthy soil is the foundation of everything. The farm specializes in nutrient-dense mixed vegetables, pastured eggs, and pastured whole chickens, raised using minimal tillage, mulching, composting, pasture rotation, and microorganism cultivation. Their commitment to the Soil Food Web runs through every decision made on the farm, from how they cover the ground to how they move their animals. The farm stand is open 365 days a year during daylight hours, stocked with fresh eggs seven days a week and overflowing with seasonal vegetables, melons, flowers, and frozen chickens through the summer. Cash, check, Venmo, and PayPal are all accepted, and you can join their free text group for updates on what's available.
