Land

Managing these acres is no small task. Between the vegetable and herb gardens, the seed gardens and pasture, and all the landscaping in between, spring and summer are very busy seasons for all who work our land. This year, the livestock farmers successfully created a new composting site for our biodynamic manure, and the vegetable farmers created a new community garden on the hill. Turtle Tree Seed has been protecting its plants from all the rain we’ve been having, and the Healing Plant Garden requires lots of weeding and attention for the same reason!
