Jane Post was a Potter and a Massage Therapist for 20 years, a Tai Chi instructor & Martial Artist for almost 30 years and has been a Culinary Artist and Gardener for most of her life. She's been in the Berea area since 1974 when she came here to study ceramics at Berea College. She loves cooking with and hunting for wild mushrooms, organic gardening and gathering all kinds of wild edibles. These days she spends most of her time tending our market garden and helping with the grandkids (when she's not picking mushrooms!) |

Her husband Tim Hensley is a horselogger, farmer, mushroom enthusiast and
woodsman who has been in the Berea area since 1988. He has been marketing their home-grown and wildcrafted
mushrooms and managing their well-diversified organic
farming operation for around 20 years. |

Our farm is located amidst over 200 acres of unspoiled Appalachian forest in the Foothills east of Berea, Kentucky. Our property includes a rich diversity of plant and animal species, and is managed as a wildlife preserve. Incredible displays of wildflowers color the hillsides in spring, an amazing variety of wild mushrooms bloom here virtually year-round, and the woods and forest edges abound with wild foods of all kinds. The half-acre, spring-fed pond above the gardens provides both irrigation and delightful swimming throughout the growing season. Our cabin at the end of the road surrounded by beautiful forest and just 15 minutes outside of Berea provides an idyllic getaway and something of a window to days gone by. Come spend a day with us; letting our experience, our home, our farm and forest feed your mind, body & soul. You will be glad you did--guaranteed!
