...It’s been amazing seeing all the flowers pop up, the previous owners really loved this property. It’s my own personal Eden and I’m honored to care for it.

We had planned on only planting the three original apple trees in the food forest this year. Then next year planting about thirty more fruit trees. We noticed that the golden raspberry growing at the original homestead had spread and there were babies everywhere. We dug some up and transplanted them in the food forest. Then we were told about the trees for bee’s program and we purchased fifty trees for around the property. They included elderberry and silky dogwood. Both of which are now in the food forest. After that my dad gave us six grape vines, his neighbor gave us flying dragon oranges (a hardy orange), passion flower, and red and black raspberries. The food forest grew a lot more than we had planned, but everything is doing well so far! We also planted 75 strawberry plants and 50 asparagus around the property. Next year is going to be delicious!

We are planting our vegetable garden this week. I hope it does as well as the previous owner says it will. We had to buy a walk behind tractor to get the ground turned. It’s a pretty cool piece of equipment. Scott wants a full size tractor now that we have a farm, maybe next year!

I update often on our facebook page if you want to keep up with the day to day happenings around the homestead. I plan on updating here quarterly to give an overview of what’s been happening. We hope to have an open house in the summer or fall…we’ll let you know!
