The farm was
established in 1994.
Our farm has 6 acres in production.
Farm History:
I began with one acre of veggies but soon began to replace
them with perennial berries, fruit trees, and wine grapes.
I will be adding one more acre of grapes, and 300-400
ft of additional berries, black raspberries and black
berries. I had no idea 10 years ago that things would
evolve into the present farm, but it has been a lot of
work and a lot of fun to present what I think to be a
delicious and clean product. I have been supplying natural
food stores and farm stands, restaurants for 7 years.
It is a growing business with an excellent reputation.
A big hit in Southern Washington County!
