“I spent most of my childhood traveling,” says Megan Naylor, owner of Wild Mountain Farm, a small biodynamic farm in Barnardsville. “It gave me a great perspective on cultures, but as a young adult, I had a deep need to ground myself, get to know one piece of land and grow food.”

So Naylor settled down on a 6-acre homestead and started a farm. When she first moved onto her land “our property was almost over the roof with brush and weeds,” she said. “Our goats cleared the property, then we put chickens in behind them, and they scattered the manure from the goats.” Now in its third season, the farm has grass growing, wildflowers and honeybees in addition to chickens, goats, donkeys, cattle, horses and ducks.
