These watermelons were grown here, some are pink inside and some are yellow.In late August these sweet muscadine grapes are a delicious treat, sweet raw or converted to wine or jams.We have two mature pecan trees available for pick-your-own nuts in late fall through early winter.Sunchokes are usually available after the first frost. Dug up, cleaned, and cooked, they make a great potato substitute that doesn't spike insulin.We've had some good success growing garlic.Pumpkins grown right here on the farm.Prickly pear cactus are native to our area — here one flowers in early spring.Comfrey is a staple of a permaculture homestead and one of our favorite plants.This salve is made from our own comfrey — limited supply available.Eggs are a staple of rural living. We don't maintain consistent production, but surplus may be available.We create biochar as time and weather permit: raw wood is converted to coals, then mixed with compost or compost tea to make an amazing soil amendment.We needed a new roof — in 2025 we had Major League Builders perform the work.
