Our 2016 year is looking bright as we continue our focus of
establishing our property into more heirloom organic edible forest
gardens which incorporates the maximum use of fruit trees with various
herbs, vegetables, fruits, and flowers underneath. We are hoping to
start our next projected project soon of bee hives so to offer our own
raw organic wildflower honey while they work for us as pollinators.
This week I hope to find time to contact the folks that own the woods
to the east of us and to the south of us to see if they would be
interested in selling all or a portion of their woodland at monthly
payments with no money down so we can expand our efforts of providing
healthy non genetically modified food to all that want it. Our plans
are to have as soon as the Lord sees fit, a 50 +- acre farm. This year
we have had classes in farming and baking to teenagers that have never
been exposed to where their food comes from and/or how it is grown or
made so we want to expand on the lack of interest that was seen in
those kids' eyes when they arrived vs. how excited they became when
they were able to hold chicks, hear the turkeys gobble, etc., plant
seeds and turn flour into squishy dough and then into beautiful loaves
of bread to enjoy. A petting zoo and classes will be fun for kids and
adults alike.
Thank you again for a great 2015!
