Profitable Diversification for Small-Scale Organic Farming

Hollow Oak Farm, Berry KY -- May 19, 2026 -- 1 - 4 pm ET

As first-generation farmers, Julie and Jeremiah Muth are building Hollow Oak Farm from the ground up - raising grass-finished beef and pastured pork and poultry, growing produce and creating value-added products while learning in real time what it takes to make a farm sustainable. In the process, the Muths have learned how diversifying their small-scale Harrison County farm plays a major role in building resilience into their farm business. 

Join this OAK Field Day - geared toward new/aspiring and organic-curious farmers - to learn about Julie and Jeremiah’s journey managing multiple enterprises, spreading risk across different revenue streams and working toward organic certification. They’ll share challenges and how they’re facing them: balancing passion with profitability, managing the workload as a small team, avoiding diversification burnout and making marketing decisions that support the farm’s goals and bottom line. Visit Hollow Oak’s high tunnels, market garden and rotationally-grazed pastures and systems for poultry, pigs and cattle.
