About Us

We are people who love to grow our own tasty, healthy, satisfying and safe food. Our families and neighbors are glad we do!

This site is a culmination of our opinions on gardening, acquired through years of personal experience and research. As we continue to learn, we will share our new understandings by expanding & updating the site.

We garden in USDA Zones 5 and 6 in southeastern Michigan. (To determine your hardiness zone use this USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map).

Taste – There’s no comparison.
Organic – Don’t even think of growing your food any other way! Do you want to ingest pesticides and other chemicals? Yuck.
Nutrition – Greater concentrations of important vitamins and minerals.
Safety – YOUR food won’t be at risk for salmonella poisoning.
Satisfaction – You’ll feel good about increasing your self-sufficiency and getting “back to the Earth”.
Pleasure – Enjoy the sights and smells of your garden as you pick fresh produce for the day’s meals.
