The farm is continually progressing! There are chickens, guineas, ducks, rabbits and a pig currently residing on the farm, in addition to the humans. The garden has been much expanded and is producing more squash than we know what to do with! Produce such as beans, squash, cucumbers, jalepenos, herbs and soon to be tomatoes have been brought to markets in the area, along with handmade items such as jams and pickles, made from blackberries and cucumbers grown on the land.
