As owners and operators of Stonefield Organic Farm, Peter and Katherine Hampton would like to welcome you. They are located in a small rural town in northeast Texas and have been blessed with a marriage of 40 years in December 2014. Peter has had 2 years of horticultural school and Katherine is a certified Master Gardener. They’ve been growing crops and flowers for about 30 years, but most of that
time was spent in the Midwest, so Texas was a big change for them. Growing in Texas can be quite challenging with the clay soils as it needs lots of amendments to really produce well. They have been growing in Fannin County now for two years and pride themselves in practicing organic, sustainable farming culture, using untreated, non- GMO heirloom or open pollinated seeds. All of their gardens are chemical and pesticide free, as they choose to use earth friendly products and methods. They also raise natural, free range turkeys and chickens and hand gather fresh eggs daily from very happy hens. The guinea hens cultivate the garden looking for any yummy morsels left behind, while Bella, their 2 year old golden-lab, keeps everyone in their place. P1010229
