Some of our favorite things to do...

Family projects!

Our poor green houses have felt a little neglected this year... 

but working together made the clean up process more bearable. :)





We were able to salvage quite a bit of produce from the plants before pulling them out... Especially from the pepper plants.

Painting the shed. It was in desperate need of a complete make over.

Snippets from the Spring & Summer

This spring and summer flew by. It was filled with traveling to fulfill ministry engagements and attend weddings as well as visit friends and family, working in the green houses, cleaning and remodeling our hardware store, visits from friends, keeping up with our side businesses and normal day to day activities. Here are a few pictures...

Abundant harvest

This year our greenhouses produced bushels of tomatoes, peppers, and squash and literally hundreds of cantaloupe and watermelon. Lettuce, broccoli, spinach, potatoes, radishes, carrots, cabbage, onions, and cucumbers also filled our hoop houses. We enjoyed meeting new customers and serving regulars week after week at our produce stand on Tuesdays and Fridays.
