homestead 

 

Although the market garden is our primary business venture, developing a sustainable homestead and learning new, related skills is an important and complementary passion for us.  We'll share our journey and look forward to hearing about what you are experimenting with in the homesteading space!

​

Baking & food preservation

We preserve as much garden bounty as we can by canning, freezing & dehydrating.  Leslie also bakes weekly making sourdough buns and sweet treats.  Find our baked goodies at early and late-season farmers markets.  

​

Poultry & small livestock

We have a small flock of laying hens.  In the works: duck eggs, meat birds & meat rabbits.  

​

Building projects

George built a tiny-ish (450 sq. ft) passive solar house on the property three years ago.  We are excited to add a few more structures to facilitate both work & play time.  Current projects include converting a shipping container into cold storage & seed starting space for the gardens, and building mobile poultry housing and a mobile sauna.  We'll share pictures as these projects develop... CHECK BACK SOON!  We're also happy to share info on our process... or, contact us to discuss options if you'd like us to build a custom mobile structure or tiny home for you.
