Edible Farmacy was started by Susan Hart,
a Nurse Practitioner who grew up on a
ranch in Wyoming, eating home grown
vegetables, pasture raised meats, fresh
trout and wild game. She was aware of
Americans diet deteriorating as large agri-
businesses put profit above quality, flavor-
ful, nutrient dense food.
Susan was disenchanted working as a
Nurse where she had to prescribe meds to
treat symptoms, less time educating her
patients in ways to treat the problem ra-
ther than symptoms. Now she focuses her
passion for health, wellness and disease
prevention through Edible Farmacy, includ-
ing a CSA, educating the public about
GMO’s, and food as medicine.

Edible Farmacy
Soon friends and neighbors began asking

chicken business! In 2017, we will raise
4,000 chickens for meat, 40 pasture raised
turkeys, and sell over 15,000 eggs.
Let Food be thy Medicine — Edible Farma-
cy established in 2005 with an understand-
ing that wholesome “slow food” is a foun-
dation of a healthy body and mind. Edible
Farmacy raises organic, sustainably grown
vegetables, pasture raised, grass fed beef,
lamb, and eggs. Edible Pharmacy raises

donated to organizations to feed home-

Our poultry and eggs are available directly
from the Ranch (weekly delivery availa-

Angel’s Rest Ranch on Facebook.

Windy Acres Dairy Farm was born of a
husband’s dream and Billie Johnson’s pas-
sion. It began in 1994 as a small hobby
farm in Prineville and evolved into a fully
operational dairy farm. They currently raise
turkeys, pigs, lamb, cows and chickens.
Like so many farms we’ve featured this
issue, they rely on herd shares to thrive
financially. Herd share members can re-
ceive grass fed beef, butter, beef bones
for broth, stew hens, lamb, pork, raw milk
and eggs. Seasonally they have blueberries
and honey, too. You can purchase their
fine products at Locavore. Look for their
Farm to Table Events in our Calendar. For
