Event details:
Join Myron Metzger on a tour of Berry Hill Farm to learn how he grows a diverse variety of vegetables for market all year long, in harmony with natural systems and rhythms of our ecosystem.

Learn about Berry Hill Farm’s growing practices and how they build soil health to retain the nutrients and moisture necessary to grow beautiful, nutrient dense produce.

Farm Tours will take place rain or shine, so dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes to walk among the garden beds. The tour will include time in the hoop houses and greenhouse used to grow vegetables even during the winter months.

For more information, call (260)578-8105.

NOTE: Bolinger Family Farm and Cordes Berry Farm are both nearby to Berry Hill Farm and they are hosting tours on the same days. Plan to visit them as well, while you are in the area.

Berry Hill Farm
Berry Hill Farm grows a diverse variety of vegetables in harmony with natural systems and rhythms of our ecosystem. No herbicides are used. Only organic insect sprays that are non toxic to humans are used very sparingly when necessary.

Our guiding principles teach us to nurture the soil biology in ways that sequester carbon, preserve soil nutrition and cultivate plants that will produce delicious fruits and veggies that are deeply nutritious. We have found great fulfillment in bringing wholesome food to wellness minded people who appreciate it. 

Through the use of greenhouses, winter covers and storage facilities we are able to keep fresh produce available twelve months of the year. Our new farm store sells products from our farm, as well as products from several other surrounding farms.

Berry Hill Farm
Berry Hill Farm grows a diverse variety of vegetables in harmony with natural systems and rhythms of our ecosystem. No herbicides are used. Only organic insect sprays that are non toxic to humans are used very sparingly when necessary.

Our guiding principles teach us to nurture the soil biology in ways that sequester carbon, preserve soil nutrition and cultivate plants that will produce delicious fruits and veggies that are deeply nutritious. We have found great fulfillment in bringing wholesome food to wellness minded people who appreciate it. 

Through the use of greenhouses, winter covers and storage facilities we are able to keep fresh produce available twelve months of the year. Our new farm store sells products from our farm, as well as products from several other surrounding farms.

Greener Pastures
Greener Pastures is located on 15 acres or rolling hills pasture in the heart of Noble County, IN. Greener Pastures raises grass-fed and grass-finished lamb and beef. We have been raising hair sheep for 12 years. In the last 2 years we have become more serious about turning our hobby into a business. The flock has grown to around 65 animals. Our focus is on raising cross-bred hair sheep (Katahdin, Saint Croix, Dorper Cross). With rotational grazing, our animals get all the grass they can eat during summer months and all the hay they want during the winter!

Our meats are locally processed by a licensed butcher, USDA inspected, and packaged for resale. We have packaged freezer lamb and beef cuts available, with whole, half, or quarter cut meat available, as production and butcher’s schedule allows.
