The garden is full of vegetables for winter and to sell on farm. We begin planting in March. The actual garden has evolved from a pasture full of broom and much debris and every year we expand just a little more... We grow fruits and vegetables with an eye for beauty, mixed with perennials and annuals, fruit trees and herbs. When we began in the summer of 2003 we had a smattering of plants from our previous farm. Every year we expand and after a days work on the farm the garden is also a place to enjoy.
| When we moved here there was not a plant in site, the garden has grown from a collection of cuttings. | The house spring 2007, we couldn't work fast enough (see the picture below!) |

This is what it looked like when we bought in 2003. Field view. Time, plants, paint and hard work!! Below is the arbor entrance full of heritage roses, entering into the garden in early June |

The farm has deep rolling fields surrounded by rock bluffs and forest. Here stairs lead to the bluff (May) a pretty area planted with many native plants, rhododendrons and roses |
In June honeysuckle and roses underway, hydrangeas just beginning, already we will have harvested 60 acres of hay ... |
