We have planted apples, pears, plums and even a pair of hopeful peach trees!
The trees continue to age. To date, of the fruit trees, we have just lost two to nature and we have had our first harvest! Vonda and I each ate one apple of a liberty apple tree, (probably a week too early as it turns out) and we had enough crab apples for a 6 jar batch of crab apple jelly.

In 2019, we had 13 products packed into mason jars. Some were experimental recipe testing batches and some were full commercial runs. Each batch was made by hand in our jamming kitchen and finished with a water bath to ensure proper safe preservation. We have had very positive reviews for our products and we hope to expand these lines in 2020.

Fresh vegetables in season
What does "in season" mean? in 2019, that meant the summer and after the wet spring it was a short summer at that. In 2020, with the addition of season extending covered raised beds and the greenhouse in full swing, and a root cellar and cold room for storage and aging, we will be nearly year round.
