Where Families Grow Together
We are a family of dreamers, planners and schemers. Thankfully we have some practical and no-nonsense members amongst us too, or we never would have gotten this far. But the fact remains, that this small agricultural venture is the culmination of many years of hoping and dreaming. From our first foray into the joy of gorgeous heirloom vegetables on the pages of seed catalogues, to our first test garden in 2022—we have learned a lot. And we still have a long way to go. But the family that grows together can’t help but stay together.
