Below is my personal garden. I use raised beds and what is known as intensive gardening. Although I have a greenhouse I can easily grow 3 seasons using raised beds. The watering is on a timer and automatic. If you’d like to arrange a consultation to set up your own garden, chickens, worms, whatever! for your family just email me.
Additionally please check my farm blog www.farmgoddess.com and subscribe for videos and updates on farming and gardening.
This is the farm in spring/summer.
We started up some goji berry plants in the greenhouse. Goji has had a lot of media as being a super food. Look it up on Google. Not only are they delicious but full of nutrients.
The plants are seedlings now and will sell right away. If you’d like a goji berry plant you better reserve you’re right away! I’m selling them wholesale to stores but making them available to my boarding customers.
Goji Berry plants will grow very easily here in Virginia once your plant is established. This is why we keep them warm in the greenhouse and suggest the first year you keep them indoors with plant lighting. Then in spring slowly take outside then plant in the ground. Goji can easilt withstand our winters and should grow great in our area. It normally takes a few years for goji berry plants to start fully producing.
Don’t pay 17.00 a pound for fruit when you can grow your own.
Email me to reserve your plant. I also have REAL curry leaf plant for sale.

I’m a little behind on my videos. This was actually taken in August. I took my sister, Sherry and her son, Sam out for a tubing trip on the Dan River for Sherry’s Birthday. They dropped us off and we spent a few hours floating. The water was a big muddy, not as nice as the New River, but very relaxing. We put a cooler in a tube, packed with our lunch and ate on the river.

Amanda threw Michael a surprise birthday party at Lone Star Steak house. The video is kind of long, 10 min. I can’t believe my baby boy is 31!
This year/season we will be growing all kinds of fresh natural produce. We don’t use pesticides and most fertilizers are organic. I do admit that I use miracle Gro a few times. Everything else is organic.
If you are interested in produce during the season please contact us using the form. We are seeking customers interested in weekly or bi-weekly pick-ups. We haven’t worked out all the details, however we are taking this year to figure out a few things and looking for a handful of steady customers that want a great deal and can pick up out at the farm. We are talking to several other farms we may buy farm fresh canned foods from that you can pick up here as well. Please also add your name to our newsletter.
Just a few video clip of the farm & some of the stuff that goes on around here. This video is about 4 min. It includes a picture of my handsome rooster Cletus and a few others that run loose. My pet pigs, Elmer and lilly, talking to me, the inside of my barn which also shows the chicken coop we made for laying hens. That coop has a totally enclosed outside area. This way I don’t have to hunt all over the yard for eggs. You’ll also see an old smoke house that has been here a long time and my large greenhouse. See video link below…

We are not using all of our acreage and we do have some land for sale. We are seeking other eco friendly, organic farmers and people who would like to live consciously and sustainable.
Short video of a warm fire to keep you toasty.
Living and working on a farm is dirty work. In fact from 7am until 6pm we’re just a group of dirty farm girls.
Meet Meredith my new helper. Mer is 11 years old and I guess she is my great niece? Well one thing for sure, she’s my little buddy and during the summer she cleans the dog rooms, takes dogs for walks & keeps the plants and trees in the greenhouse from burning up in the summer. She’s an excellent helper and she loves dogs too!

I have a bunch of citrus and tropical fruit trees for sale that I brought up from Florida a few years ago. They are taking up way too much room in the greenhouse so I am looking to sell some. These can all be grown in containers and brought indoors when it gets too cold. I have lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit. I also have mango, avacado and a few other tropicals. Email me using the contact form here and I’ll tell you what I have left. Sorry no shipping. Pick up only.
This fall I’ll have fruit trees such as apples, pears, cherries and more. Please add your name to our newsletter.
