Sherry’s Birthday - Floating on The Dan River
Posted by tamara under: My Family.
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.

Raised Bed Test Garden
Posted by tamara under: Go Green; The Farm; Home & Garden Services.
This is a video of my own raised beds and test garden. I have two gardens - one raised where I test different types of plants, soil, conditions and the beds. This small garden is very easy to put together and can grow MOUNTAINS of food. As you’ll learn in the video, I am in between seasons, ready to plant another crop and next month I’ll begin to plan my fall crop, however with raised beds and the right setup I can start melons in July and have a whole second crop.
Our new projects are exciting. Please check out our web site www.danvillegrowgreen.com lets get Danville growing organic and helping to fight hunger at the same time!

Land 4 Sale Update - Future Eco/Solar Project
Posted by tamara under: Land For Sale.
I’ve taken a few videos of the land being offered for sale at Dancing Creek Farm. The farm is located in Pittsylvania County outside Danville, Virginia. It is 45 min North of Greensboro, NC - 1 hour to the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is a very desirable area to live because of the district, being in the county and West of Danville. In fact this location places you almost between Danville and Martinsville.
Our long term goal within the next few years is to sub-divide the entire farm as a eco solar village. We will work towards a sustainable community offering solar enegry & solutions for all residents in the community. This could be individual units and or everyone pulling off the same grid.

Posted by tamara under: Farm Fresh Products.
I first read the books by Dr. Mittleider when I was in Florida looking for a way to grow vegetables in an area that was challenged by sand.

Not only is it economical but very easy to do.
C lick the link below to learn more. Lots of great information.

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!
