Be a part of the history

Monroe County Historical Log Cabin

predating the Civil War is what welcomes visitors as they pull in. This cabin was the original structure on our family's farm. Next you'll then see our new log cabin, with the greater farmstead around it, which has been in the family for more than a century. What once was a dairy and supplier for the former Waterloo Milk Company, we pray will one day serve the community in such a capacity. Your support gets us one step closer to restoring ancestral practices to the community.

Clean Living the way god intended

He gave us dominion over the plants and animals. So therefore we believe and have experienced how soul-satisfying being connected to where your food comes from can truly be. We want to bring that eternal impact to you, along with clean-living and quality ingredients to help nourish your family.

sixth generation Farm Family

We are devoted to implementing ancestral practices.

Our young family of five is the sixth generation cultivating the land on this property. Our farming roots go even deeper with farming as our family's vocation for longer than we can trace. Owner of  Gregson Golf Instruction and full-time homesteader, Mitchell Gregson is a father of three young children, homeschooling on the homestead alongside his wife Teryn Gregson. After living in Florida for eight years the Waterloo natives decided to move their family back home and revive a small part of the family farm, building their new log cabin home in 2024. The new homestead quickly expanded to a large flock of laying hens and meat birds, sheep, lambs stewarded with regenerative practices. The Gregons have many future farm goals, which they have slowly begun to implement - such as planting their first test plot of organic wheat!
