Our Founding Fathers & Mothers...

These are the people who believed in our mission with their heart and... money!

Our Founding Fathers & Mothers...

Sandra

Sandra is a great field worker and is very generous of her person. She was also Roux and Billy's godmother.

Shawna

Shawna has many neighbors/friends who can use the new techniques learned at the farm.

Tyler

Tyler worked hard and then got married. We never saw him again...

Fred

When Fred does not garden, he is the "Fiddler in the Shed".

Kristena & Fred

Both such devoted volunteers... Pictured crossing scissors over a wall of basil. We all enjoy harvesting basil until the scent starts to overwhelm...

Liz

Liz loves it. She works in the field as a fish swims in water. Get me 5 Lizes !!

Pierce & Fred

Pierce joined us in Fall. She loves outdoors work and it shows.

Patrice is in Love...

...with his soil!

Roux

He is a sweet and loyal one.

Billy

Billy is Roux' soulmate. They found each other and will never be apart.

Our favorite crop yet: our kids

We had children in our fields all year long. Check them out on our "Outreach" page.

Deer Fence

This fence is light and inexpensive, and effective for deer but not armadillos our other main problem.

Our old pond

This pond is aged and beams with life. Our irrigation water always comes from it.

Egyptian Onions

Our earliest crop!!

Summer Lettuce

In Arkansas, summer lettuce is "technical".

The Shed

At times, this place is buzzing..

Shed & Greenhouse

View from the field.

Greenhouse

The greenhouse is used entirely for "starts"and to stay warm in winter.

Early Cabbage Planting

Spring of 2007 was so warm so soon... We could not resist planting early, and.... we paid for it!!

Mulching a new area.

The crew is applying a second layer of mulch over the original pasture where we'll plant tomatoes and peppers the first year.

All at Work !

This is busy picture, with Ray (Kristena's hubby) in the front row, picking beans.

Fall Beans

Beans were great in 2007... We had snap beans, flat Romano beans and even purple beans. So many beans, and so little harvesting time !

Fall Lettuce

Why do I love those rows of lettuce so much??

Market Pic

Trying to make the biggest mounds of veggies ever!

Color in the Peppers!

Lettuce Harvest

Harvesting lettuce is fast work. The trick is to scope the largest heads.

Lettuce Wash

Heads are cartted down to the shed and washed in well-water.
