WELCOME TO COG HILL FARM
We are the Smith Family, (you thought we'd say "Cogs", right?) we have a funny story about that! We started our little farm back in 2004 and began documenting our journey on YouTube in 2016. By 2021 we were outgrowing our home of 16 years and moved to 40 acres, where we've completed our barndominium, and are putting down our roots!
Welcome to the CogSquad y'all!
We're so glad you're here!

Gardening isn’t just about growing plants it’s about showing up, getting your hands dirty, learning through experience, and finding joy in the work along the way. Dirt & Work brings together the practical knowledge, lessons learned, and down-to-earth encouragement that have shaped life and growing at Cog Hill Farm.

This guide was created for gardeners of every stage, whether you’re planting your very first seed or expanding a well-loved garden. Inside, you’ll find approachable guidance on planning, planting, soil health, seasonal growing, and the everyday rhythms that turn effort into harvest. Rooted in real farm experience, this book focuses on simple, proven methods that help you grow more food with confidence.
More than a how-to manual, Dirt & Work celebrates the connection between hard work and hope the reminder that growth takes patience, persistence, and a willingness to learn from the land.
