I can't believe it has already been a year since we bought our farm. We accomplished a great deal in one year. We got our gardens going, opened our shop and farm stand and we even took time to beautify the yard. We also added to our family by adopting 2 more cocker spaniels.
We are a small farm at just over 2 acres, but we have many plans to make this a working farm again. Our house has a rich history in farming, and we hope to recreate a good part of that. For a bit of the history visit www.cloverleaffarmstand.com.
People flocked to our farm stand for our organic produce. Next year we plan on expanding the garden to 4 x the size it was today. It was a wonderful first season.
Our herb and gift shop is one of a kind in the region, so people come from all over. We have been selling on line for years, but this year we changed our name to fit our farm name. You can check out herbal products at www.cloverleafherbfarm.com. The name actually comes from the shape of our property. The land we own is actually in a clover leaf shape, so we chose the name Cloverleaf Farm. Originally, years ago the farm was close to 100 acres, but has been whittled down over time. I can say I am rather glad. I can't see us farming 100 acres.
Farming is a hard life, but so rewarding. I can't imagine doing anything else. We live off the earth and give back to the earth. We feel we now complete the circle in more ways than we have every before.
We have always noticed the seasons change before, but this year we lived by them.
