— THE LAND
Our Farm
56 cares of sustainable heritage farming in the Piedmont.
— OUR APPROACH
Regenerative agriculture
Stoney Mountain Farm sits on 56 acres of beautiful Earth just off the beaten path in Burlington, North Carolina. We consider ourselves stewards of this land and our animals.
We seek to preserve the ways of the past. We don't fight nature, we work with it. No synthetic fertilizers, no aggressive mowing or plowing. Instead, we practice rotational grazing, permaculture principles, and composting to build soil health naturally.
Our land management approach is simple: leave the earth better than we found it. Every decision, from fencing to planting, is made with the long-term health of the farm in mind.
— OUR PROMISE
Animal welfare
Heritage breeds raised humanely on open pasture. No hormones, no unnecessary interventions. Our sheep live freely, on rolling green hills with access to fresh water and natural shelter.
We use natural parasite control through microscope monitoring, reducing our reliance on chemical treatments.
The pastures are planted with black walnut, rosemary, dock and other natural remedies which animals instinctively go to when needed. We harvest our own hay, or supplement with the highest quality. We replenish our pastures with our own compost and never add synthetic fertilizers.
— GROWING THINGS
The garden
We use the lasagna gardening technique — a no-till, composting-layer method that builds rich soil without disturbing the earth beneath. Layer by layer, season by season, our gardens grow stronger.
Beyond vegetables, we maintain a diverse food forest with herbs and wildflowers specifically chosen to support pollinators. Every bee and butterfly that visits our farm is doing essential work.
