We started farming vegetables in 2003 as a way to work together as a family. We planted early tomatoes in one greenhouse and few peppers outside our greenhouse. The remaining crops we planted in a bottom field down the road. We got 9 inches of rain July 4th weekend and lost everything in that bottom field! It was an interesting year. We were young and determined so we put out a crop the following year. We have had expanded our operation over the years. We now have 6 greenhouses and 14 acres in vegetable production. We start the season in May with asparagus, strawberries, peas, radishes, spring greens, hanging baskets, and flower bouquets. We usually start picking our early tomatoes the first of June. We then add squash, green beans, peppers, eggplant, okra watermelons, and cantaloupe. We finish out the season with late tomatoes, winter squash, and pumpkins. We strive to grow our veggies as naturally as we can using nonchemical sprays to combat insects and disease.
