We grow a wide variety of fruits
and vegetables, with Strawberries, Sweetcorn and Pumpkins being
our main crops. We use the IPM method of growing our produce,
that stands for Integrated crop and Pest Management. Using IPM
techniques minimizes undesirable environmental practices and
keeps pesticide use to the minimum, thus protecting our
enviroment but still producing the high quality product that we
are all accustomed to.

- History of our farm -
Once a 95 acre dairy
farm, the land was split up in 1973 with Don's parents
buying most of the land in 1974, in 1984 we purchased the
1 1/2 acre apple orchard. With three more purchases, we
(Don and Katie) now own 30 acres of the original farm
with land on both sides of the road.
