Our little farm
We bought our property between Linden and Landmark in August 2010 as a home for our oldest horse. Naturally, since we had 7 acres of land for our horses and ourselves, it was only fitting to start a garden to grow food too. From our little garden, we have found that we are capable of successfully growing all types of vegetables, and that we have more than enough food for the two of us. With so much more land available to us for a garden, we are expanding so that we can provide the same locally-grown and organic food to you.
​
We are also in the process of raising/keeping chickens for egg production, and we are a couple years into creating an orchard, which currently has some young plum, pear, and apple trees.
​
We also have future plans to have goats for milk/cheese, and bees for honey. They will be in coming years, so stay tuned!

Our garden
Our garden is built on a bed of clay. Clay is great for holding moisture, but it makes the initial setup very labor intensive. It needs a lot of work to break through and a lot of additives to keep it a nice soft soil that's easy to work in. We keep it simple. We add sand to help keep the soil loose. We add fertilizer from our horses, which is a mixture of their manure and straw. We add top soil to build up the beds.
That's it.
​
We use no pesticides and all seeds are GMO-free. We start our seeds indoors using a simple seed-starting potting mix.
