About Us
Our History
Mike spent his childhood on a farm. As he and Colleen talked about their retirement years, the idea of making use of the land now known as 10 Spring Farms took shape. Both Mike and Colleen were retired from military service and would soon end civil service careers. They agreed that they wanted to involve their family in the effort to build a business and livelihood to pass to future generations. Mike is coming back to his roots with 10 Spring Farms while Colleen, a suburban girl originally from South Carolina, is willing to look for her roots.
10 Spring Farms is named for the abundance of springs throughout the land that feed into the Monongahela River. The tenth spring, number 10, runs past the garlic fields, giving rise to the name 10 Spring Farm.
The land in Marion County, West Virginia, has been in the family for seven generations. Through the years, the land has been used for subsistence farming, beef and dairy cattle, and goats, and is now yielding gourmet hardneck garlic.
Mike has a lifetime of experience as a farm boy to bring to this venture. Colleen brings administrative, organizational, and writing skills. Others on the family team bring culinary school training, photography and video skills, a driven work ethic, and marketing, sales, and web skills.
10 Spring Farms is a multi-generational farm, and we believe that the land is the most precious commodity which must be cared for to pass to future generations. The products of 10 Spring Farms are sustainable and healthy.
