About Air and the Wild Acres
Ariel—”Air”— and the Wild Acres
We call the farm Air’s Wild Acres. The land, the animals, and the humans who call this place home are all a little wild, and we like to celebrate the unpredictable side of nature. Specifically, we believe that Mother Earth is an ample source of awe, and she inspires us to conserve the planet and her beautiful creatures. We’re also still learning about ourselves and our place in the world, and will always be slightly untamed.
The result is Air’s Wild Acres, our attempt at creating our own food, providing a beautiful home for a multitude of creatures, and sharing our challenges and successes along the way.

Our Vision and Mission
Our vision
Small scale and diverse production systems play an important role in providing local food security and sovereignty.
The wild nature of our farm inherently means we operate at a scale that two people can sustainably manage, but that we also mirror ecological processes in our production systems. We promote diversity in our practices, as it builds resilience in our operations while providing an opportunity to learn from- and connect with a multitude of species. We also heavily rely on native plants and crops, and incorporate a variety of heritage poultry breeds into our flocks.
Our mission
To share the challenges, successes, joy and opportunity through small scale livestock operations and land conservation.
As our wild selves, we hope to inspire others to conserve and protect the creatures and processes that maintain our environmental, human, and animal health.
We’re a growing operation, only established in 2022, so as we continue to add plants and products to our farm, we will share what we learn and what we know. We will make mistakes, but we will learn from them, and hopefully inspire others to start their own homestead, garden, mini-dairy or chicken farm. Regardless, we want people to also take ownership over the food they eat and the products they consume.
