Groundhogs, Lemurs & Organic Plant Sale Updates

Posted on February 1st, 2021
Tomorrow is that silly day when we turn to a rodent to help us predict the future.  More than ever before, I have a good feeling that whatever Punxsutawney Phil tells us, we will make the best of it.  Six more weeks of winter?...no problem.  Early spring?...bring it on.  Af1 read more »

Happiest New Year to All!

Posted on January 1st, 2021
  Hello 2021, we are so happy that you are here!  The past year threw us some major curve balls that no one saw coming.  We don't need to dwell into those details.  Sigh.  Back in 2019 we were really excited about our big new adventure for 2020...chickens!  Little did1 read more »

Posted on October 20th, 2020
  Hard to believe we are here...the end of the season.  It's bitter sweet to end every season but this season was like no other.  I don't need to dwell on how difficult life has been due to the pandemic and how hard it has hit many people, both financially and mentally.  But we1 read more »

Looking Back and Planning Ahead for 2021

Posted on September 8th, 2020
  Gone are the days of summer I guess.  That was fast.  We are in the 13th week of the 20 week season and honestly I had no idea back in April if we would ever get to this point.  What a season it has been.  So many changes not only here at the farm but everywhere on this g1 read more »

Farewell Jeff: Thank You for 11 Seasons!

Posted on August 10th, 2020
