Starting a farm is hard work! But the most rewarding kind...
Since moving to this beautiful place, work has begun in earnest to bring a variety of delicious and nutritious farm good, adding to the bounty of our agricultural neighborhood. We have new orchards of fruit, nuts, berries, along with a new cut flower garden just to share lovely bouquets with you. Our new perennial medicine garden is going in right now as well, so keep an eye on our farm stand for what is ready to share.
Here's what we have growing so far and look forward to bringing you... as ever, we grow without the use of pesticides with companion and inter-species plantings with a focus on pollinator habitat, for more diverse and nourishing harvests.
- Eggs: free range pastured eggs from spoiled and adored hens. Expected July 2025
- Orchard Fruits: Bing cherries, plums, heirloom apples, peaches, pears, figs
- Berries: Tired of eating just blackberries? We have a new plantings of Blueberries, Raspberries, Haskap Berries, Red & Black Currants, Lingonberries, Goumi Berries, Service Berries, Gooseberries, Elderberries and probably some more I'm not remembering right now.
- Grapes
- Nuts: Acorns! We collect and process our gifts of native White Oak acorns! Stay tuned for flour and goods made with this treasure. We also have native hazelnuts and someday when I'm old, the Almonds & Chestnuts will be ready.
- ALL the Vegetables. The usual suspects, grown organically.
- Culinary and medicinal herbs- available fresh and dried
- Cut flowers, fresh and dried arrangements
- Seeds of allllll the things.
- Plant starts
- Teas grown from our herbs and tea hedge
- Hopefully honey at some point!
- We have several test beds for crops we may grow at larger scales. I'm playing with Lentils, Flax, Olives, Pomegranates and Goumi's which are new to me.
- Our intensive grazing program is just beginning. We're partnering with a local sheep herder to help manage our more far out unirrigated pastures and hope to bring his products to our local market. Our livestock help build fertility around the farm.
- Experimental key line plow methods for water management. Our new equipment just arrived!
- And more...
Look out for our new roadside farm stand by the end of June 2025!
