Swallowtail Farm CSA

Swallowtail Farm is located in southeast Gainesville, in the historic Rochelle district. The land is nestled under a mossy canopy of ancient live oaks, and buffered on all sides by pasture, prairie and wetlands. There is rich history to the land and homestead alike, and the farm is graced by grazed soils and bountiful native flora and fauna. We have brought our small dairy herd of Jersey blends, our flock of laying hens, heritage breed pigs, Katahdin sheep, a healthy array of barn cats and Livestock Guardian Dogs, and our own growing little family to help caretake the land. We are crafting the farm as a model of sustainability, regeneration, and fine land stewardship, with a focus on appropriate scale, conservation of resources, and nature-produced fertility. We practice minimal-tillage, and draw on biodynamics, permaculture, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and more, for method. No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals will ever touch our fields or your food. We believe that we are only visitors here, and are caretaking the land for the living earth.
