As far as the vegetable garden goes, we have plant a variety of items such as rhubarb, asparagus, watermelons, crookneck yellow squash, okra, cantaloupes, birdhouse gourds, luffa gourds, sweet peas, green beans, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers for canning and eating fresh during the harvestable season.

We also grow a variety of beans for drying and use during the winter months such as Christmas beans, Limas, Navy, Pintos, and Kidney Beans. We make jelly from a variety of items that are grown locally including strawberries and blackberries, cherries and apples. We produce apple butter, pear butter and make our own pancake syrups from many of the same fruits.

This year we've planted a few potatoes and yams to see how they do. If successful, next year we will lay in enough to feed us through out the winter.

In the Orchard, we currently have 14 apple trees, 6 pear trees, 4 peach trees, 2 plum, 2 cherry and 2 pecan trees. This year we have added 4 more peach trees and Fig tree as well as 4 pecan trees and 2 English walnuts.

How important are our gardens? You ARE what you eat. Someday I'll take the time to tell you how dangerous your mass produced food is. We don't always succeed here but we attempt to maintain a diet that is rich in whole and natural foods without chemical intervention in the growing and harvesting as we possibly can.

Our practice of shunning store goods comes from a variety of research done on what goes into the foods we eat, the medicines we take and from our strong mountain background. Our Native American respect for the earth and the influence of our Appalachian ancestors are reflected in our day to day attitudes about life and living.
