Bluebird Farm and Gardens
Austin and Chelsea love food, people, and intelligent farm ecosystems.
Born and raised in Michigan, Austin and Chelesa met at Northern Michigan University. Their bond has always been a commitment to the natural systems that surround us. They desire to make a lasting impact in human and natural communities and build knowledge and skills to increase their resiliency. They seek to grow high-quality vegetables, proteins, and ornamentals. They use additive, holistic practices, and look further than a traditional bottom line. Unique, a little quirky, and approachable: a description of us as people and our farm.
