There are a wide variety of birds at the farm, including Barn Swallows that keep mosquitos under control. Take a peak or feed our laying hens at their coop!

We love what we do and are inspired to encourage all ages to choose a career in the Green Industry.

We Plan, You Plant

The “We Plan…You Plant” landscape design solution was created to help you “Do It Yourself” and install a professional looking landscape. This solution concentrates on one area at a time, so that we may give special attention to that site. You provide information about your property and we will give you a simple design and appropriate plant choices.

What do we need from you? A drawing, measurements, photos and a little information to help you make the best choices for your space.
