Welcome, friends!
Thanks for stopping by the farm. I'm Ashli - wife, mother of four, farmer, and small business owner. I started Little River Farmstead because I wanted to know where our food was coming from. Here at the farm we like to keep it Simple + Good!

Our Elderberries
When we purchased the farm in 2017, this was the first of the Elderberries planted. The Elderberry bushes were actually the first thing to put roots down here, planted before we even moved out to the farm. To see them now is quite amazing.
We have since planted Elderberry bushes throughout the farm and are anxiously awaiting for them to mature. Our organic buffer has rows of Persimmon trees, Elderberry bushes, and fruit trees. In addition to the Elderberry bushes we have planted, we have native Elderberry bushes that have established themselves throughout the farm.
I often say we have a "food forest" as the farm has wild onions, gooseberries, black raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, and native wildflowers. Our bees use the pollen and nectar collected from these plants and flowers to make the honey we harvest here on the farm.
