We've got a few hummingbirds around the place! The video doesn't do justice to the number we currently have, they're hard to get on camera!

We've got 2 Brown Turkey fig trees left over from what we planted out the fig orchard with for sale. These are 2 year old trees in 3 gallon pots. Asking $40 each or $70 for both of them. Pick up or I can meet locally

After a lot of time & digging, the fig orchard is almost complete. Just need a little mulch on the rows & the dreaded wisteria vines removed. There are 5 rows with 10 trees each row, 34 different varieties of figs total. There are 2 large water oaks about 200 foot west of the orchard that provide much needed shade in the evening this time of year. Our house is on city water but we've got a well with an electric pump so water usage is not an issue.

It's been a while but we haven't abandoned this page, just been super busy behind the scenes! We were incredibly blessed to be able to purchase a home, along with so much more land for us to farm. We are still located in Franklin County, just a little south of the river now. Thank you for all your support this far, and keep an eye out because we'll be back and much bigger next growing season!

The color on these volunteer zinnias has really impressed me. Last year we had pink, orange, & white zinnias planted here. The bees thoroughly enjoyed them & this is what we ended up with this year after the cross pollinating.

I talk about how you can grow fig trees in containers, this is Covert Family UNK I grew from a cutting last year. The tree has been growing for a little less than a year in a 5 gallon container and is loaded with fruit.

I'm excited to see how this LSU Thibodeaux fig tree does. The fig it produces can weigh up to 100 grams (almost 1/4 lb). This tree is a specialty variety I grew from a cutting.
