The Gardens

Many are well-established and will come back year after year, while others need more nurturing and attention.
You could rest in this quiet oasis under mature fruit and nut trees or on a bed of soft, aromatic mints. Stroll through the property while feasting on the beyond organic produce provided by the fertile soil of the raised beds and football field-sized garden.
Enjoy the peace of mind of providing your family with a healthy lifestyle as you benefit from the established, relaxing, healthful environment and more nutritious food than you can buy anywhere!
You can have more than enough amazing, free food for yourself, your family, friends, and neighbors! With enough attention, you could produce a bounty to offer at a farmer's market or local co-op.
