Good-bye front yard of green - Hello to more flowers, herbs, produce and art!

I tell you I love a plush beautiful green grassy yard...the next thing I'll tell you that my green grass is now under two feet of wood chips. We don't ... yet ... have our 50 acre farm and need more growing space. Although there are wood chips where my grass was, everyday I am planting pots so soon there will be beautiful pots and ground planted herbs, tomato plants, succulents, a lot of flowers for cut flower vases, special occasions, etc., trellises for various climbing squashes, beans, etc. The sky with vertical gardens ... and my front yard... will be utilized to the fullest to grow.

I'll post photographs soon. It'll be enjoyable to see how we utilize this area from green to brown to flowers, herbs, produce and art.

We'll soon sell our excess plants of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, flowers and herbs so stay tuned and if you want me to send you a list personally, just send me an email and I'll add you to the list.
Again, we thank you so much for supporting us as we endeavor to provide your family with a wide variety of fresh organic produce.

It's strawberry season so we are enjoying making low sugar strawberry preserves. This year will also offer canned beans, tomatoes, pickles, etc. It'll be an exciting year of more culinary surprises.

https://squareup.com/store/littleedenheirloomfarm is an online store I'm creating that will list various things we have to offer that you can purchase and we'll add it to your weekly bag or you can pick it up at our Farm Stand/Farmers' Market days. You can currently purchase breads, preserves, honey, special requests, extra produce, etc., but I thought this would be a great place to visually see things with the prices, etc., for budgeting with an easy way to pay.

Thank you!

Happy Goats = Goat Milk = Cheese = Happy Customers!

While living in Georgia I had a lot of rescued goats, a lot were so weak, in poor health, they would hand them over the fence to me so they wouldn't get stomped in the back pens at the local animal auction where I lived in Macon County. With a number of folks asking if we sell goat milk, cheese, etc., it won't be long and we'll have goats again.

I came across this on Facebook and couldn't resist sharing.... If you would like to help us by sponsoring our mission, please go to https://www.gofundme.com/HomelesstoFarmer.  Thanks!
