Welcome to Timbercreek

Welcome to Timbercreek Farm. It is January 1st and most people are making New Year’s Resolutions but we are starting our life-long journey to change our lives as well as the lives of folks around us. We are Sara and Zach Miller and we are embarking on a mission to bring good food to our community here in Charlottesville, Virginia. Our aim is to do this in a sustainable and humane way that celebrates the wonderful biodiversity of our farm while guaranteeing you our customer the very best pastured eggs and meats.

Our goals for this year include: acquiring a herd of cattle, a flock of egg layers, some pastured broilers, pigs and eventually turkeys. WOW! I know that is a lot of animals but we are so excited we can barely sleep at night. Actually, that’s not true. We are working so hard that we can barely stay awake past 8PM! Zach and I have a great team behind us not only for help out in the field but also for support in kicking this farm into gear.

I have a few folks that I would like to introduce, as they will continue to be a big part of our daily lives and our business. First and foremost Milt and Pat Edgerton, Zach’s grandparents. They own this amazing farm. They have both supported us in many ways but the biggest thing they have done is allowed us to live and start a business on their farm. We certainly would not be starting where we are without them! Diane and Ethan Miller, Zach’s parents, own adjacent land that they have generously donated to the timbercreek organics project. Diane has also given us some amazing resources for our education. She introduced us to Joel Salatin who has inspired our model, and has contributed lots of other resources to help us get our operation started.

David Steppe, Anthony Steppe and Judi Cheape are the backbone of our operation. David brings a long family history of farming and good work ethic to our team. We have known and worked with David for a long time. His ‘fix anything’ ability is a vital asset. Anthony is David’s nephew. He has a great sense of humor and believes no task is overwhelming or too hard. He has a way with animals that you simply cannot teach. It is a natural gift. Judi is our accountant. Without her we would be lost. She crunches numbers and counts the pennies. It’s amazing how quickly saving one cent here and there can add up to a thousand dollars. Judi keeps us on track and helps us manage our costs as we push forward.

These are our people and we cannot imagine getting started without them. Zach and I have been preparing for 2010 for three years and it is hard to believe that it is here! Happy New Years everyone and best of luck for 2010.
