About Us
My main goal is to grow food without chemicals on my organic farm.
 
My Mission/Goal:
  • Grow Veggies, Herbs, and Fruits
  • Raise enough Chickens for eggs
  • Have 2 dairy goats for my own milk & cheese
  • FRESH
  • Full of Flavor
 
My farm is open to the public, but appoitments must be made.

Part of the items I would like to offer is teach how I do these things.
  • How to raise poultry
  • How to care for and milk goats
  • How to make your own soil
  • How to prune your fruiting plants
  • Create a edible landscape
  • Starting a vineyard
  • Explain the pro-con's of Aquaponics

Here you will find out What to plant, Where and when from the Farmers Almanac!.
