We spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now we’ve sold our property to the next stewards so that we can begin a new homesteading project in Vermont closer to our best friends and their kids.
Don’t worry - we plan to keep this website up and running so that our customers can reference what we’ve written about our plants!
We’ll let you know once we re-start a farm in Vermont!

‘Cascade’ is a popular variety for brewing. Bred at OSU, it is a great general purpose flavor and resistant to downy mildew.
Hops are a wonderful choice for summer shade screen and, of course, for beer making. They grow vigorously with enough sun and water. We reccomend growing them in post unless you are very certain of your long-term location because they take a bit fo work to completely remove from the soil. They prefer to grow up strings, and will grow over 20 feet tall if they have a strong and tall trellis. We have about five plants that grow up our west-facing porch to provide lush shade all summer long.

“Nugget” is popular for brewing because of its strong bitterness and fruity aroma. It’s often added late in the process to impart its unique flavor.
