2018 Grant Winner: In Good Heart Farm

Ben Shields & Patricia Parker

We are a small, un-certified organic farm in Pittsboro, NC. We began In Good Heart Farm in 2010 on rented land in Clayton, NC. We moved our operation here in June 2016. We are delighted to work the farm once worked by Bill Dow & all of his apprentices & students. We are grateful for the opportunity.

We grow over 100 different varieties in annuals on about two acres & we are learning to manage about three acres in apples, pears & blueberries. We’d like to incorporate more perennials, like black raspberries, elderberries, asparagus, rhubarb & various herbs & spices. We’d also like to incorporate lots of different animals on the farm.
