“In the garden, my soul is sunshine.”  

Vegetable Gardens

While toiling in the gardens, the hours fly past so quickly.  I am at peace in the garden, and my hope is to pass that peace along to anyone who passes by these gardens here at the farm.  

We grow many different varieties of vegetables, focusing on as many heirloom vegetables as possible.  We are also using old methods of farming, the way my Grandma June used to garden….planting by the phases of the moon.

We are not certified organic here in our gardens, but we also do not use any chemicals.  I incorporate compost and vermicompost to the soil to ensure that the soil is as healthy and enriched as possible to produce quality food.  I will not risk  using unnatural methods or products that lessen the safety  and quality of the vegetables.  Imperfections and odd shapes are abundantly welcome in our garden.

Ohio Native Wildflower Beds

Besides growing vegetables, we enjoy the beauty of natures blooms in flowers.  All of our landscaping beds are planted in "native to Ohio wildflowers."  You may have noticed that our landscaping is a little wild, and does not have your typical pristine and weed-free look.  The flower beds are planted in perennials that you would find naturally growing in any Ohio prairie.  Plants such as Black-Eyed Susans and Joe Pye Weed fill our beds to make a mass of flowers in the summer, attracting native birds and other wildlife for a natural habitat.

 We have lots and lots of beautiful dandelions in our front lawn and we would never think of spraying or fertilizing with chemicals to rid our yard of these and other natural plants.  Please enjoy the natural look and feel of being on a farm that cares for our customers and the environment that you are surrounded by.
