OUR MISSION

Majestic Greens Farm is on a mission to grow food, beauty, and relationships to the glory of God. 

We are farmers working with the land to yield more life: 

• We grow nutritious food to feed people, and enrich the soil and ecology.

• We grow beautiful flowers to adorn people’s homes and lift their hearts, and to enliven and diversify the landscape.

• We grow herbs to brighten meals and heal people’s bodies.

• We grow relationships among farmers, eaters, community groups, and localists of all kinds. We seek to honor everyone as the image of God they were created to be and to love as Christ commands us.

  OUR STORY

We are return-generation farmers doing what we can to restore our connection to the earth and its people.

If we reach back two or three generations we can find our ancestors tending their home gardens while share-cropping in central Arkansas and coal mining in Eastern Kentucky. But neither of us grew up knowing how to raise food or work with plants. Our return to farming has been a growing process.

​After years of working in the nonprofit and education sectors, we realized that our best path forward was not to hope to work within broken systems: We were called to rise to the challenges of our time and help grow the alternatives we wanted to see in the world.

​For us it started with a raggedy guerrilla garden near our old home in Houston. On borrowed land we started growing food for our family that we knew would be healthier for us and easier on the environment than the stuff from California sold at the grocery store. But what we had begun just for ourselves quickly drew the attention of neighbors, who took it for a community garden. They thanked us for what we were doing and we happily shared our small harvests. And from there we began to dream of something more. We wanted to build on that shared love of food that connected us to our community and the land.

​In 2016 we transplanted to Maxwell's grandparents old place here in Oakland, Kentucky, with the goal of turning acres of grass into something more productive. We got some hens and grew a home garden bigger than we could handle. We greened up our thumbs and began to get to know our new neighbors.

​In 2017 Maxwell worked with Nathan and Michelle Howell of Need More Acres Farm to learn the ins and outs of full-on commercial farm work. They have been deeply gracious mentors ever since.

​In 2018 we established the farm business, set up shop at Community Farmers Market in Bowling Green and partnered with Jackie and Larry Berry of Flourishing Herbs Farm to begin Growing Together Farm Share, our CSA. Jackie and Larry have taught us so much, including the value of going far together. GTFS has been our foundation and we are honored to be collaborating with several other farmers in our region to seed a more cooperative and resilient local food system.

In 2020 Davida began Davida’s Flowers, expanding our offerings to include local regeneratively farmed cut flowers and bouquets. In 2021 she further expanded, combining herbs and flowers from her garden into unique, hand-crafted medicinal and beauty goods.

In 2021 we partnered with Black Soil KY and other legacy and upcoming Black farmers across Kentucky to bring our produce and flowers to Weekly Farm Share members in Lexington.

In 2022 we partnered with Compost BG to start closing the nutrient loop in the food system: bringing our produce to members’ doorsteps and taking their food scraps to be composted into good soil for local farms and landscapes.

In 2022 and 2023 Davida launched her Floral Education Workshops for Women to share skills in floral art, herbalism, seed saving, and flower arrangement.

In 2024 we partnered with Black Soil KY and What Chefs Want to bring our produce to schools, community partners, and Farm Share members across Fayette County.

In 2025 we are pleased to join the Kentucky Farm Share Coalition to bring our produce to more families across Bowling Green. We are also excited to expand our flower production to serve more local florists and to provide produce to Black Soil KY’s new local grocery and mobile Sprout market across Lexington.

We are excited to continue living into this calling. Together with God, this little piece of ground, and all of you, we can grow healthier people, a more connected Kentucky, a more resilient local economy, and a better relationship to this beautiful and ever-changing Earth.
