    Herb and plow represents over 30 years experience in natural remedies and organic farming.  It is a work in progress, as we are continually  learning.

    We hope to share information with those just starting out on their adventure of natural healing and/or organic farming, and to hear from and share with those seasoned veterans of a more simple and natural approach to life.

     Our journey began in the Ozarks in Arkansas around 1979 on a 200 acre organic farm and Lifestyle Institute.  The institute  was owned and operated by Dr. Homes, who graduated from Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists in the 1930's ( before they became allopathic), and her husband, Campbell, a Kentucky horse farmer and natural healer extrodonaire

     Ron and I met and married, and lived there for four years.  Our oldest child was born at home on the farm.  We learned the art of hydrotherapy, massage, herbology, vegetarian nutrition, and organic farming with horses.  Ron bought his first pair of Belgian mares, Blondie and Beauty, and learned to work them there.

    Ron continued on with his education after we left, and became a Naturpath.  We had our own practice in North Carolina which we eventually moved on a smaller scale to a rural setting in western Tennessee.  We farmed our little five acre farmette with quarter horses.  We did not know you were not supposed to farm with quarter horses, but we did it!!
