Hi, I'm Julie - mother of 4, and grandmother to 4. I’m an avid gardener and love playing in the dirt.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of being Laura Ingalls, and living the 'country life'.

...well dreams are funny things and have a way of coming true in unexpected ways. It may not be on the prairie, but I sure do live the best 'farm life' my little heart could have ever imagined on my little one-acre slice of heaven in the middle of town!

(I even got my very own “Manly” to boot! 😉 iykyk)

We have a hen house full of chickens, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 5 ducks, a couple of beehives, a family of goats, an ever increasing number of rabbits, and a miniature horse! We are lucky enough to grow a variety of fruits- apples, pears, plums, cherries, apricots, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, and strawberries— and of course a huge vegetable garden!

We host field trips and “Farm Camps” for kids ages 5-13, in hopes of planting in their hearts the love of nature and gardening, and letting them experience the joy and satisfaction that comes from patience and hard work.
