We practice organic gardening but are not certified organic. We will be participating in three local Farmer's Markets this year, Newnan, Ashley Park and Peachtree City. Eventually we would like to do a small CSA and/or sell cut flowers to florists. We have started a small orchard with peaches, plums, plumcot, apples, muscadine grapes, black walnuts, English walnuts, blueberries, red and black raspberries and strawberries. We also grow heirloom tomatoes, garlic, peppers, bean, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage and much more. Arlene's passion is flowers of all kinds and will be selling plants she starts as seedlings as well as cut flowers. Matt is in charge of the bees. So far he has four hives and plans on expanding that this year. He planted an acre of clover dedicated to the bees and recently planted sourwood trees which is supposed to make some of the best honey! Ira is our equipment operator and keeps the manure piles turned, grass mowed and provided for mulch, garden areas plowed/rototilled. He also removes all the garden debris for us at the end of the season and last year did all the watering. Hopefully we will have some sort of irrigation system in place this year. Ira is also the keeper of the free range chickens and guineas. He built the coops that are nice enough to be a guest house! The hens are producing eggs now and we are getting about 6-9 eggs a day. Soon we will be able to sell eggs. Each year we will try different varieties of vegetables and see which ones perform the best and also grow some unique and unusual things for the fun of it!
