2018 NOTICE: Due to the damaging frosts & freezes in June 2018 and the clear lack of pollinators in our area, we only have had limited harvests and thus have not been able to operate our small farming business this season, requiring the necessity of off-farm employment.  Here's hoping 2019 is a better year.

We are homesteaders striving for resiliency and self-sufficiency. We are small scale.  We grow all of our vegetables and fruits using methods approved by 'la certification biologique' (thanks to government's wisdom we are not able to use the 'O' word), so pesticide, fungicide, herbicide free.  We also cultivate our produce using hand tools staying away from using equipment that requires the use of non-renewable resources, trying to minimize our ecological footprint. 

We specialize in raw and value added products using asparagus, tomatoes and hot & sweet peppers, and juices and sauces from our fruit trees and bushes. The only store bought ingredients are vinegar, sweetener if not using local honey, and pomona pectin.

A new offering in 2018 is what we are calling "made to order canning".  If there are hot bath canned products you desire - perhaps you have a favorite family recipe or you just can't find that canned or pickled vegetable at the grocery store - but you don't have the time or resources or skills to do this yourself, and we grow the ingredients or we can source the ingredients locally, then contact us to discuss how we might come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.  Note that a 50% deposit would be required in any such agreement. With more than 10 years of experience, if you want to learn how to hot bath can as well as pressure can then we can also help: we will teach and you will host!  Contact us if you are interested.
