Carmen grew up on a small farm with his parents and eight siblings just down the road from where he now owns and operates A-Frame Farms. A-Frame Farms is an organic operation he and his wife Sally started in 1972 with 80 acres. Today, the Fernholz's raise certified organic small grains, corn and soybeans on around 360 tillable acres. Over the years Carmen has been recognized as a leader in the organic field and plays an important role in counseling farmers and others who are interested in this type of agriculture.
