Joe and Michelle didn’t grow up farming. A decade ago, they were city people with no particular plan to become otherwise — until a friend proposed moving to the country, and they decided, somewhat improbably, to try.
What started as a family homestead outside Siler City has grown into Little Way Farm, named after a philosophy of small, humble acts done with great care. Walk the property for a few minutes, and it’s clear they take that seriously. Joe does the daily chores and packs the orders. Michelle tends the gardens, teaches their four kids at home, and holds a PhD from Duke. The kids help with whatever needs to be done. This is a family farm in the truest sense of the phrase, and that shows in the food. Offerings include pasture-raised poultry, 100% grass-fed beef and lamb, woodland-raised pork, cream-top dairy, and raw honey — all grown on their own land using regenerative practices that prioritize soil health above everything else.
Little Way Farm runs a home delivery service and farm store, open to the public every Saturday, 10am-1pm.
