"Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals & happiness.”
-Thomas Jefferson
Firstly, Id like to thank you for taking the time to learn about my ventures. I come from a line of strong women. Women who tightened their belt, laced up their boots and got to work. That is the type of work ethic and dedication I hope to pass on to my daughter. I hope that by raising her to not only appreciate where her food comes from, but also know how to tend to the various plants and animals that provide for us, she will develop a passion and respect for our planet. I hope that by doing this, I help to shape one small part of our worlds future.
Kindly,
Ebony Metzger
It all starts with a dream.
Our farm is a small venture at the moment. Situated on just over half an acre, many would not even call us a farm. But even a tree starts from a seed, likewise, my dream of owning a family farm starts here. By providing my community with poultry, produce and various other products, my goal is to put everything I get out of this into the future of Metzger Haus Farm.
Our Responsibility
As inhabitants of this planet, we have a moral obligation to protect and maintain the environment. Not just ours, but the environments of all living creatures on the planet. In following that belief, I take every measure possible to ensure that any animal or plant in my care is given the optimal life I can provide it. I choose to use only certified organic pesticides in my gardens, and only as a last resort if an infestation cannot be controlled by other means. My chickens and ducks are able to free range and feed on vegetation in a large open portion of our property. As well, the are fed a pellet feed formulated to ensure they maintain a proper nutrient level. Overall on the farm, we use every resource we can. composting scraps and manure, and finding new uses for old or worn out items.
