Aunt Louise’s Farm

Contact: Louise JonesAddress: 8101 Waukeenah Highway Monticello, FL 32344Phone: 850-251-7708E-mail: [email protected]/AuntLouisesFarmFL

Saturday, October 24, 10 am-6 pmSunday, October 25, 2 pm-6 pmAdmission: $4 per person

Aunt Louise’s Farm is located in Jefferson County, more specifically Waukeenah, Florida. Our farm is forever growing, expanding and evolving. About 16 years ago we bought ourselves a goat. No one told us that a lone goat is an unhappy goat! So, of course, we had to buy another one. Then we bought a few chickens so we could have fresh eggs.

Fast forward to 2015. We now have quite a menagerie of “critters,” as I like to call them. Currently, we have 30 or so goats, nine sheep, 14 ducks, five alpacas, five pigs, three guinea fowl, 40+ chickens, 15 rabbits, five zebu cattle, three dairy cows, two Great Pyrenees, an Australian Shepherd and a mini horse with a little one by her side. (And you never know what Aunt Louise might bring home tomorrow!) We now produce enough eggs to sell, raise a lot of our own meat, have enough lard to make soap and sometimes have our own fresh goat’s milk.

In the fall we open our farm to the public for about six weeks. For the Farm Tour we are offering half-price entry to the farm ($4 per person). You are able to explore the three-acre corn maze that has lots of scarecrows and silly signs for entertainment. Additionally we have homemade jams, jellies, soaps, pound cake in a jar, fresh pecans (hopefully) and pumpkins. You may also buy snacks to feed the animals. For added fun we have a hayride, a barrel train ride

and a corn pit to play in. We will have concessions for sale: hotdogs, snow cones, corn bread waffles and drinks.

Directions: From Tallahassee, go east on Apalachee Pkwy/FL-20 E/US-27 S (toward Perry) approximately 18 miles. Turn left on Waukeenah Hwy/CR-259 N. The farm is approximately 1.5 miles on the right.

We also craft homemade soaps, breads and baked goods, herbal vinegars and jams, which will be for sale along with fresh herbs, plants, worm castings and bunnies.

After taking a year hiatus, we are back on the Farm Tour with a host of new plants and animals, and employing new systems and methods learned from permaculture design certification. We have learned a lot about improving soil quality, composting, and adapting to our local climate. We look forward to sharing all these new ideas with you! Our family believes in sustainability, from treating our land with respect to sourcing our food from our own property. Come join our family for a day of sharing knowledge, ideas and nature.

Saturday, October 24, 10 am-4 pmWorkshop: Broadforking Demonstration, 11 am and 2 pm. The broadfork is a tool used to manually break up densely packed soil to improve aeration and drainage. It will open and loosen soil while minimizing damage to the microorganisms that provide the nutrients for the garden bed. Farmer Wayne will demonstrate how to use the broadfork and will offer hands-on practice for anyone interested in giving it a try.

Our farm is named in honor of our Native American heritage; Alicia’s great grandmother was a Creek Indian from south Alabama and Wayne’s great-great grandmother was a Cherokee Indian of the eastern band of the Cherokee Nation. We maintain 100 acres as a wildlife sanctuary and farm a small area. Our farming practices are guided by our beliefs in sustainable agriculture and enduring respect for the land and its animals. Our farm is Certified Naturally Grown, a non-governmental organic certification, which you can learn more about here: www.naturallygrown.org.

Our farm was developed based on the wide row,

raised bed and organic method. No mechanical tools are used in the farm area; all beds are prepared by hand with a broadfork. No synthetic fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides are used. Beds are composted with chicken manure and mushroom compost from local farms, and are mulched with wheat straw. We use a soaker system to water our crops. We grow heirloom fruits and vegetables year round with the help of shade cloth in the summer and frost covers and a high tunnel in the winter. We sell our produce through the Red Hills Online Market (www.rhomarket.com), to select local restaurants and to local customers by appointment.

Come enjoy a guided tour of the farm. We will tell you all about our farming practices and the natural methods we use to attract pollinators and control pests. Or feel free to wander on your own, relax under the shade trees with complimentary homemade lemonade from our lemon trees and complimentary snacks and lunch throughout the day. We love to meet folks interested in farming, so we make every effort to meet and talk with each of our visitors. We hope to see you here!

Saturday, October 24, 10 am-5 pmSunday, October 25, 10 am-5 pmTours: Ongoing

Clear Lake Farm of Lamont, Florida, INC is a small 57-acre family farm. Our goal is to live harmoniously with nature while supplying our family and friends with healthy, sustainable foods. We use each animal’s natural abilities to help us farm. Goats (we have made the switch to dairy!) are browsers and ours have been busy clearing the woodlands. Maremma and Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs live with the goats and piglets to protect them from predators such as bears and coyotes. We use the pigs’ natural rooting and the chickens’ and turkeys’ foraging to turn and add compost to the soil. Our guineas are voracious foragers of ticks and bugs—an all-natural way to control unwanted insects. Our pasture-fed Bourbon Red turkeys and pigs are all born and raised on the farm. Order your own free-range turkey or pork roaster for this year’s holiday meal. There is nothing quite like the taste of a pasture-raised bird or roaster. Walking tours will be ongoing throughout the day and will include all of the animals and gardens.

Our family has discovered the joys of living and working in a beautiful, peaceful setting and wish to share it with you. Farm products available for sale will include heritage turkeys, broilers, pork, eggs and goat’s milk and cheese. The lunch menu will feature our own chicken and pork, plus other homemade goodies. All animals are free-range and receive non-medicated feeds and

natural approaches (DE, garlic, etc.) for internal parasite control. We do not use antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides.

Directions: From Tallahassee, take Apalachee Pkwy/US-27 S. Go approximately 27 miles to Lamont FL. Continue through Lamont (now called US-27 S/ US-19). Go approximately 3.5 miles.

Dickerson Farms (est. 1998) is a sustainable farm surrounded by rolling hayfields and pinewood. It is based on the cycles of life—what springs forth from the ground, falls back to the ground. Good soil recycles anything and everything—it can prevent waste and the recycling returns nutrients back to the soil. We have chickens and rabbits that break down vegetation that is then fed to worms (vermiculture) or used directly in the gardens. The garden grows what is then used to feed chickens, as well as the rabbits, goats and us. The worms create a great growing medium that is mixed with pine bark to create potting soil. The plants are sold and much returns later as clippings to be fed to worms, chickens and goats that are then used to fertilize the soil. Soft drinks, eggs, jellies, soaps and candles will be for sale.

Directions: From Tallahassee, take US-90 E/Mahan Dr to merge onto I-10 E. Take exit 217 for FL-59. Keep right at the fork, follow signs for Lloyd and merge onto FL-59 S/Gamble Rd. Turn left onto CR-158/Old Lloyd Rd, continue to follow CR-158. Take the first right onto Lloyd Creek Rd. Turn right onto Hayfield Spur. Note: If using Google Maps, drop “Spur” from address.

Please bring your questions and your love for agriculture. New on the farm this year: a Ford 8 NC tractor, an additional 20x22 greenhouse, more mushroom caves, butterfly gardens, more goats and more growing area for the fall. We will be serving refreshments.

Saturday, October 24, 9:30 am-4:30 pmSunday, October 25, 10 am-4 pm

Golden Acres Ranch is located in northern Jefferson County. We raise goats, sheep chickens, guineas and use Great Pyrenees guardian dogs to keep the predators away. The seven dogs are Bucky, Chipper, Mac, Duffy Honey, India and

Roper. They will come to the fence to visit with you. Maybe there will be some puppies. We never know.

The goats and sheep are located around the farm in various pastures and there is always a young one that likes to be petted. The chickens and guineas run free (as long as they behave). Please don’t chase them. It is not a good idea to feed them either, unless you want to be surrounded by 30 or 40 while you are trying to eat your lunch.

We have a hayride with a tour of the pastures and the Mayhaw stand. The trees will be shedding their leaves by this time getting ready for the winter sleep. Other local farmers and producers join us to showcase the diversity and charm of country life. Blacksmiths, soap makers, jewelry artists will join us and sell their wares along with wool products, jellies, jams, baked goods, plants, honey, eggs if the chickens are cooperating and who knows what all else. There will be a sample or two of Mayhaw jelly if you want to try it.

There is plenty of parking and a picnic area. We’ll accommodate anyone needing special assistance. We encourage guests to wear sturdy shoes. I try to headquarter at the Wool Handling Tent. Stop by and say hello.

Love’s Labor Farm is a 40-acre farm located at the eastern edge of Liberty County, Florida. We produce pastured poultry and pork for ourselves and for others who want to consume meat as a part of their diet, but who are concerned about the ethical implications of large-scale meat production and about the health implications of consuming meat raised on diets that include growth hormones and antibiotics. Our customers are people who think about their food, where it comes from, how it is raised and the effect that its consumption will have on their overall health.

In addition, we have a blueberry patch, thornless blackberries and several other fruit trees. Walking tours will be available throughout the day. We will have fun activities for the kids including horseshoes, animals to visit, a nature craft and a working hand-pumped well (always a favorite of our young visitors). Plenty of photo ops are available.

Our farm has easy access on all paved roads with plenty of parking. Farm products available for sale will include pastured broilers, free-range pork, pastured eggs, cane syrup, homemade jams, jellies, and pickles. We’ll also have sausage dogs available for a delicious breakfast or lunch with baked goods for dessert.

Our farm is a work in progress, but it is work that we enjoy. We love the land, we love our work, we love the life we have made here on our farm, and we would love to share it with you.

Directions: From Tallahassee, take SR-20/Pensacola St/Blountstown Hwy out of Tallahassee and travel west approximately 25 miles. Turn left onto CR-2224/Old Blue Creek Rd and travel 1 mile. Take the first left onto Bluff Creek Rd and travel approximately 1 mile, turn right onto Birdie Ln. As an alternate route you can go west on I-10 to exit 181/SR-267 S. Travel approximately 12 miles and turn right onto SR-20.

Since last year we have raised funds to begin the needed repairs to the farmhouse and can begin creating teaching spaces for our variety of artisans. This 100-acre pristine property located in North Leon County is exquisite. Our mission is tri-fold: to honor the legacy and beauty of the land, to preserve and protect the water(s) and to celebrate and nurture the spirit.

The Millstone Institute’s most exciting challenge is to continue to develop and expand our Folk School offering intensive classes in the old arts/artisan skills. Come, walk the breathtaking property, see the sheep, llamas and burro and watch demonstrations of weaving, pottery and blacksmithing. Products made by our various artisans—woven items, pottery, woodwork, artwork—and organic lunch items, healthy cookies and snacks will be available for sale.

Wines are distinctly Muscadine and include the white varietals of Carlos, Magnolia and Triumph. The red varietal Ison produces our fabulous Florida Red. Wines are available in both semi-sweet and dry. Monticello Vineyards & Winery invites and welcomes visitors to our farm and winery for tastings and sales of our wines.

Saturday, October 24, 9 am-3 pmSunday, October 25, 1 pm-5 pmTours: Every half-hour, hayride tours of the farm.

Myrtle Creek Farm is a blueberry and blackberry farm. We started growing berries about 10 years ago. We have 22 acres, but are growing on about five. Eleven years ago, as a firefighter, I started thinking about something to grow on the farm when I retired. Walking through our virgin woods and wetlands I noticed wild blueberries and realized that was the answer—blueberries! And that was correct. We had our soil tested and it was perfect for berries. We use organic practices and our berries are delicious. In addition to berries, we have lots of fun with hayrides, bonfires and parties at the barn. You will enjoy touring the farm with Joda our tour guide and sitting for a spell to have a sausage dog and a bluebird cupcake. We look forward to seeing you. Bluebird cupcakes, blueberry syrup and more will be for sale. Come tour our farm and have breakfast or lunch. Limestone Meathouse sausage dogs and firehouse beans will also be available for lunch. Bring your cooler if you would like to purchase frozen berries picked from this year’s crop. See you there!

Directions: From Tallahassee, take Apalachee Pky to Capital Cir, turn right on Capital Cir going south. Turn left on Tram Rd just past Southwood, and continue 12.7 miles. Myrtle Creek Farm will be on the left. If you Google directions, it will say, “Monticello,” but it is Wacissa. The directions will be correct, either way.

Six years ago, we at Ocheesee Creamery decided to process our own milk on our farm. We do it the old-fashioned way—pasteurized, but not homogenized—resulting in a whole milk with cream on the top that’s easier to digest. Ocheesee is also one of the few dairies that sells its milk in glass bottles. Did you know milk tastes better in glass, it is better for the environment and it’s nostalgic? Ocheesee also produces fresh farm butter, the only dairy in Florida to do so. You will be able to purchase: milk, butter, cream, yogurt, cheese, ice cream and the best chocolate milk! Oh, so delicious!

When you visit you will see where we milk the cows and process our dairy products. You will also see our animals and what it is like to be on the farm. You will be able to taste our whole, skim or chocolate milk.


it with you. See our 20-acre garden by foot or hayride while learning about sustainable agriculture and food practices. Feel free to bring the kids for a variety of field day activities and games. In addition to our USDA organic certification, we’re proud to be Animal Welfare Approved. All of our farm structures, including our certified commercial kitchen, are constructed from upcycled shipping containers that have been repurposed to accommodate our ever-growing operation.

Meridian Community Gardens, an extension of Orchard Pond Organics, neighbors our garden and leases 30’x50’ plots to individuals or families interested in growing their own organic produce. This lease includes an annual tillage and hose bib for each plot. Our dedicated team of staff members, WWOOFers (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) and volunteers will be on hand to provide more information at our farm stand, where all of our products (grass-fed beef, local honey, seasonal vegetables, granola, pesto, beef jerky) will be available for purchase.
