ABOUT US
1ST GENERATION FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS
BORN OUT OF THE PASSION FOR PRODUCING FRESH FOOD FOR OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WE COMBINED OUR DESIRE TO START AND OPERATE A SMALL FARM WITH WHAT OUR PROPERTY IS CAPABLE OF CARRYING AND WHAT IT IS ABLE TO PRODUCE WITHOUT ALTERING OR CHANGING IT. THIS AFFORDS US A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE LIVESTOCK IN A NON-TRADITIONAL FARM SETTING WHILE ALSO PRODUCING FOREST PRODUCTS SUCH AS MAPLE SYRUP AND LOG-GROWN SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS.
COMMITTED TO STEWARDSHIP & SUSTAINABILITY
AS CARETAKERS OF A SMALL CORNER OF THE FORESTED WORLD, ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE GOALS WE HAVE HERE AT MOUNT KADAM FOREST FARM IS CARRYING OUR FOREST INTO A HEALTHFUL FUTURE. BY UTILIZING OUR RESOURCES RESPONSIBLY AND ADHERING TO WELL-PLANNED AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES WE WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE A HEALTHY FOREST ENVIRONMENT THAT IS ABLE TO SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN AN ABUNDANCE OF LIFE WHILE ALSO ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE FOREST PRODUCTS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
THE FUTURE
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO DEVELOP AND GROW OUR SMALL FARM.
- EXPANDING OUR MAPLE SUGARING OPERATION
- INCREASING THE SIZE OF OUR MUSHROOM YARD
- DEVELOPING A MUSHROOM CSA
- GROWING OUR SMALL APIARY
YET, OUR GREATEST VISION FOR MOUNT KADAM FOREST FARM IS MAINTAINING A STRONG AND HEALTHY HERD OF BOER GOATS KEPT AMONGST OUR TREES. BY UTILIZING THE WILD GRASSES AND FORAGE THAT GROWS BENEATH A SHAGBARK HICKORY STAND AT THE TOP OF OUR PROPERTY, WE INTEND TO RAISE OUR ANIMALS UNDER THE PRACTICE OF SILVOPASTURING. THIS PRACTICE BENEFITS THE HEALTH OF OUR ANIMALS AND IS A DIRECT MEANS TOWARDS IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF OUR SOIL, TREES & ENVIRONMENT.
