More About Our Farm

At Happy Critters Farm, we use sustainable and regenerative farming practices to raise food and sell directly to our local community. Building and supporting soil health is at the forefront of our farming practices. We care for the happiness and health of our animals, plants, and the land we steward.

 

We are a small, family-owned business.  Farmer Joe does most of the farm work, while Amanda does most of the computer/phone work.  Our three kids are actively involved with our strawberry, animal, and hay farming.  In April 2024, we took the reigns of the local berry farm from Spectrum Farm Strawberries and renamed it The Berry Field.

 

We choose to raise our strawberries in a labor intensive fashion that uses manual labor, time, and natural practices to control pests and weeds.  By supporting our Berry Field, you are supporting our family's effort to raise food for the community without the use of pesticides and with soil health in mind.

 

Thank you!  See you in the fields this summer!

Farmer Joe & Amanda
