The idea of creating something from the ground – literally from the earth, up, was intriguing to me. Adding to the challenge, my family and I wanted to bring this farm to life as an experience to be shared with others…something that’s not only good for our own family, but also for the Franklin community and our guests for many generations to come. The team here is constantly generating new and meaningful ideas for how to nurture and uplift those who visit and are dedicated to our goal of biodynamic self-sustainability. We are still learning, but I am very proud of what Southall is and what it is becoming.
