This is what we mean when we say FAMILY FARM.

Growing food and making memories. Planting side by side. Getting our hands in the dirt. Watching seeds become vegetables. Hearing your Dad say "these are the best days of my life." And your sister say "this is so healing for me" while we work the soil together.
In a world that's moving faster and faster every year, it's times like these that remind us of what is really important. Family. Connection. Us.

We are blessed beyond measure.

Reciprocity. That is the true relationship between nature and man. And we are so proud and honored to be a part of this connection.
KEEN Utility makes boots that help carry us through the good days and the hard days of this work...and everyday in between.

Happy birthday Kentucky! On June 1st 1792 Kentucky became the 15th state to join the union. We'll keep doing our part to take care of our corner of this great state.

We are still overwhelmed with gratitude for the support shown to the ACES Farmer Mentorship Program. Because of this community, we were able to not only meet—but exceed—our campaign goal and officially launch our first season supporting beginning farmers here in Eastern Kentucky.

Your support is already being put to work in the field through hands-on learning, business planning, and fresh local food production for our Madison, Fayette, and Clark county communities.

As the program continues to grow, ACES remains open to new and aspiring farmers interested in receiving business planning support, learning about funding opportunities and agricultural resources, and gaining a better understanding of our local food systems and what it takes to run an agricultural business. We’re excited to keep building pathways into agriculture and lowering barriers for folks ready to grow.

For donors eligible for physical rewards: your Ballew Farms swag and supporter gifts are officially in the works and will be headed your way soon! Thank you again for believing in this vision and helping us grow something meaningful together.

Happy memorial day weekend! Be sure to enjoy the hard earned rest.

Side note: we need to figure out how to restock our pond. Not one bite 🤣
