I’ve just started to turn my land into a CSA. Next year, I will be expanding the volume of produce and having more invested members to buy into the produce because it is local and healthy. I deliver to their doorstep, so it’s a no-brainer for hard working folks! They get what I have growing as it becomes available. I hope to add eggs, honey, and other produce as I am able.

I’ve been gardening all my life as a farmer’s daughter & granddaughter (my 88 year old grandfather is still farming and my 93 late grandfather farmed till he died). I am honored and have dedicated my farm to them.
