About Us
I am a retired dentist. My wife and I have been growing vegetables for over 30 years at our farm.
Our 800 blueberry bushes, are all planted 10-12ft apart, not tight together in their rows. We also have raspberries, blackberries, and grapes.
We grow a very long list of vegetables.
Practices
We follow a no-dig, no-spray, no-chemicals philosophy. We make our own compost. Our pest control is netting for some plants and rigorous companion planting. Watering, for now, is done by hand. Along with our use of a living mulch and our rich organic compost, we can limit the amount of water required. The few weeds we have are removed by hand.
