Producer

Kiona and Chris Wagner are first generation farmers and started Rocky Soil Family Farm in Monticello, Florida in 2019 after quitting their jobs in Miami, Florida. Chris is a Global Master Chef from Germany and Kiona's background is in event production. The farm operates as a seasonal market farm, producing between 20-30 varieties of crops year-round. We currently grow on two acres and our hand-built 560 sqft bakery sits beautifully under aged oak trees and produces over 300 loaves of traditional sourdough breads a week. In the spring of 2024, we added milled grits, cornmeal, polenta and flour to our lineup of products. We use 100% heirloom yellow and white corn.

Rocky Soil Family Farm is a regenerative farm that uses natural and organic growing practices. With an emphasis on soil health, cover crops, organic amendments, fertilizers and minimal to no tillage is used for growing seasonally. Hand tools are used in combination with insect netting as a first method of prevention to keep crops healthy. Drip irrigation is the primary source of watering and aged crops are used to feed the compost along with 40ish free ranching chickens in an effort to reduce, reuse and recycle everything grown. A local beekeeper keeps over 20 hives on our farm to ensure good pollination.
