    Description

    We are restoring a 10 acre homestead full of fruit and nut trees, natural springs, and several buildings. The property had been left vacant for several years so there is a lot of wonderful work to do, and depending on the time of year, a lot of fruit and nuts to eat! We're also starting an organic garden that will expand each year.
