Location
United States of America
Summary
Both homesteads combine crops with livestock and there are some commercial aspects of each. Wildflower Farm sells Pasture-Raised Poultry, Grass-Fed Lamb as well as duck and chicken eggs and garlic. Firefly Homestead Farm hosts a community garden club each week during the growing season, cooperates with a local woodsman, and sells chicken eggs as well as various farm-raised meats and, on occasion, flowers and plants.
We will move from one property to the next, ending with food and beverages to allow us to socialize and continue talking about agriculture into the evening.
