Our Farm. Your Table.
Welcome to Murphy’s Law Ranch! Huge changes are happening for us… and we are very excited about the year that lies ahead. Starting a farm is a daunting task. So is building a house. So is moving to a new community. Yet here we are, tackling all three. There are going to be wins and failures; good times and bad. And we want to take y’all along on our journey, starting from the ground up (literally!). Please follow along on our blog and social media for the latest updates.
We are a small farm located in Owen County, Indiana. Our passion is growing and raising food to provide our community with the healthiest options available. We focus on sustainable agriculture…we’re all about healthy soils and happy livestock. Which means no chemicals, no antibiotics, and no hormones, and no GMOs. Ever.
Our current plan for the 2021 season is to trial many different varieties of fruits and vegetables, including greens (both cut greens and microgreens), green beans, corn, tomatoes, squash, melons, strawberries, carrots, onions, and garlic. As well as many others. We plan to experiment with plasticulture, no-till methods, cover cropping, and organic pest control. Our fields have been used for conventional agriculture for the past several years, so we will spend much time building and nurturing our soil.
Long term, we’d eventually like to add a greenhouse and high tunnels to extend our growing season. Pastured, free-range chickens (for both eggs and meat) and a few grass-fed cattle are not out of the question.

Yes, yes I know. I’m way behind in getting a blog up. Things have been a little crazy the past few weeks, and I’m just now getting the chance to sit down and type it all up. So you may end up with a couple blogs back-to-back. We’ll start where we left off 3 weeks …
I know I’m a few days late getting our weekly blog post up… but ya know, life happens. However, so much has happened since last week’s update. First of all, Endeavor (our internet provider) ran our fiber line last Thursday. Since we both work from home, finding a rural property with fiber was a must …
