THE SPARK
​
​
Our journey began in 2020 with a vision to improve environmental & human health.
The correlation between the two become undeniable & we wanted to be part of the solution.
​
​
​
​
​
TAKING ACTION
​
​
Led by our desire to take action, we started with a backyard garden on a 1/7 acre plot in the suburbs of Baltimore, MD.
​
We quickly grew into a source of sustainably sourced, nutritious food for our local farmers market by the summer of 2021.

​
​
TODAY
​
​
In 2024, we were thrilled to plant roots on the Eastern Shore in Stockton, MD.
​
We now have pigs, sheep, chickens, and guinea fowl. We are learning to grow a variety of herbs, produce, & flowers.
We are excited to experience the unraveling of our journey here.

MISSION ​
​
​

​

​
HEALTH & NUTRITION
​
​
The way our food is grown impacts our health.
Food grown in healthy soil is higher in nutrient density & enhances our gut microbiome. The gut microbiome play a pivotal role in allowing us to maintain health & feel our best.
​
Many health conditions can be vastly improved & managed through eating whole foods that have been sustainably grown, free of pesticides & antibiotics.
​
​​​​
​
SUSTAINABILITY & INNOVATION​
​
​
The way our food is grown impacts our environment.
We aim to grow our food in ways that regenerate the environment. Farming philosophies including Permaculture Design & Regenerative Agriculture guide all of our decisions & are the foundation of our practice.
We view challenges as opportunities to innovate & develop solutions that replenish the soil & regenerate dynamic ecosystems.
Utilizing no-till & pesticide-free practices can build healthier ecosystems for food to grow & us to live.
​

​
​
​
​
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
​
We believe that building a healthier, more sustainable world is a collective effort.
Underwood Acres hopes to create a community around the experience of growing food.
We hope to offer educational programs, workshops, & events to foster connections & empower others to join us in creating our future.
