A love for gardening and providing healthy home-grown fruits and vegetables for our children has supplied us with an abundance of produce for over 37 years. We have canned, dehydrated and frozen the excess but the kids have flown the coop and we have expanded our operations in order to provide you with that same grown-with-love nourishment!
Real food, Real life, Real choices…
Meet your farmers…Gene is the brawn, the inventor, and the repairman!
He is pictured here in all his romantic glory-this is the bouquet he presented his wifey-flags to mark the new asparagus bed! Julie is a former “library lady”, she is the gatherer of ideas, the dreamer, the list maker, and the adventurer (she also pulls a lot of weeds)! In this photo, she is clothed in her tomato and raspberry-picking (mosquito avoiding) gear.
Together we make a pretty good team 🙂
Every season we re-evaluate our gardening methods and business practices in order to offer our customers the best experience with local, fresh, and sustainably grown REAL food.
2024 will mark our 13th year of operation. We are looking forward to offering some new events/activities!
Here’s what’s up for 2024:
We are delving into agritourism. Feel free to contact us if you’d like to schedule your group for a farm tour, or if you’d like to reserve the “Binzebo” for a small gathering. It has already seen an engagement, several birthday parties, family reunions, bridal and baby showers and workshops!
Watch for “Garden Samplers” which will be available sporadically. These include a
sample of what’s growing in the garden along with some value added items (can you say homemade jelly?!?). We offer them on our Facebook page and through our email group.
Market Nights will continue, offering fresh produce and artisanal goods from local vendors. Interested in becoming a vendor or want more information? Click here.
We will continue to host “Little Sprouts” and “Seedlings” workshops for kids.
We are adding more adult workshops with our new “TapRoots” programming!
And for the biggest change of all…we have opened “The StoreFront”! We enclosed the west side of our garage (I never got to park there anyway haha!) The StoreFront will be open year-round and take vendor consignments. We are very excited and hope you come see us!
So…what do we do?
We grow REAL FOOD and teach others how to grow it, prepare it, and preserve it.
…This is called an elevator speech because its goal is to cover everything in the amount of time it takes to ride an elevator 😉
HOW we do it, will take several more trips on the elevator lol!
We grow sustainably, using both modern and old fashioned methods. We offer personal consultations and learning opportunities through workshops and tours. We offer vendor events, and have opened The StoreFront, a small retail area.
We also rent out Mrs. Pfanny’s Garden Cottage and The Wild Hare (a vintage camper) so you can come stay with us!
Mostly, we focus on community-Earth Care and People Care.
We are certainly open to any suggestions and requests that you may have-please feel free to ask questions! We plan to continue our regenerative, naturally grown farming practices.
Thank you for joining us on this adventure and for trusting us to be your gardeners! Purchasing fresh, nutritious, REAL food is a wonderfully thoughtful gift to give your families and we are honored to help you make that happen!
