Ryan Lacz and Liz Balchin bought this preserved 122-acre farm, with a stone farmhouse dating to 1790, at auction in 2015 and named it after the Irish pub in Washington, DC, where they met. Heritage-breed pigs are born and raised in the woods on acorns, walnuts and local non-GMO grain; slow-growing Freedom Ranger chickens move to fresh pasture daily and are processed on the farm in a county-inspected facility; laying hens follow an egg-mobile. Ryan also bakes sourdough from New Jersey and upstate New York organic grain with a rye starter he began 21 years ago, and the farm grows shiitake, lion's mane, pioppino, chestnut and many kinds of oyster mushrooms.
