Included in this movement towards a self sufficient life are a large vegetable garden, small fruits, a few trees in the orchard, chickens, a bee hive and mushrooms. Large flower gardens and prairie areas add to the beauty of the land. This tour will include a discussion of eating year round from the garden as well as over wintering crops.
