Where we Preserve History and you create Memories
Updated December 7th, 2008
Every
year we plant more and more vegetables. We know how important it is to know
where your vegetables come from, for this reason we are trying to continue
to plant more so you and your families will be able to pick vegetables directly
from the garden. All of our orchards are organic. We do not use any pesticides whatsoever on our farm. Coming soon we will be announcing one more way that we are helping the environment and making sure your families are protected when visiting our farm (please bookmark for an announcement soon!). Please look at the calendar below for an complete
listing of what we have available and what time.
Please check the calendar below for a list of what is in season and mark your calendar for future fruits and vegetables.
