Brian and Kristin started Down to Earth Farm in November of 2007. The decision to purchase 2.5 acres on the Westside came after years of feeling called to the sustainable food movement. We chose our hometown of Jacksonville to try this venture because years of poor development have left it nearly devoid of agriculture.

We are two families who began raising chickens to provide healthy and humane foods for our families. We raise heritage breed chickens. Our hens free range on pasture and in the woods and broilers on pasture in moveable pens, moved daily. We feed only certified organic feed and manage to maximize natural forage. We don’t use any drugs or chemicals. We share broilers through pre-ordered “chicken shares” and often have extra eggs. Our farm is near the Beaches and we have multiple options for pickup.

Our picture is one of our vibrant double yolkers compared to a grocery store organic “free range”...
