My name is Todd Causby. I’m the farmer here at Shady Creek Farm. Seems like I’ve been farming just about my entire life. I’ve learned many things growing up on the farm from my grandfather and mother. My grandfather loved farming. He always sold his extra vegetables here at the farm next to the road. He taught me many things about farming and how to take care of this land. I guess that’s how this land became a part of me.
I’ve always “gardened” for my family. Then when I lost my job in 2007, my wife and I decided we needed to pray about what God wanted me to do. God kept bringing farming to the forefront every time. It seemed as if every where I looked, God was leading me down the path to start farming for a living. It definitely scared me. But we had to put our faith in God and take that leap. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)
My wife and I started our farming adventure around January 2008. We truly believe in sustainable farming. Farming that helps not just feed the community but heal the land at the same time. We are committed to growing our vegetables naturally using organic methods. We believe that growing our vegetables without synthetic chemicals and raising our chickens on grass provide our customers with superior quality vegetables and eggs.
We started this journey because we wanted to provide the best food and natural products for our own family. The desire continues to grow in us and with that we are constantly developing and adding more natural products to our shop.
We love providing organically grown vegetables and natural products to our amazing customers and Community Supported Agriculture families. We are so grateful to all our wonderful customers who continue to support us in all that we do.
We are living this amazing farm adventure and we hope you can be a part of it!
Your farmers,
Todd and Marnita Causby
