Fried Green Tomatoes Shop

Here is Sue and her daughter Megan from Apple Road Honey. We are now selling Sue's local and scrumptous honey in the SHOP!
One of our regulars in the SHOP is Mary and her sisters! Mary had to try on our Planting Boots, not just for plants but also for one stylish look! LOL!
(The Shop is open Sat and Sun 11 to 5)

The gardens are bursting with color!

Here's a photo I had to share from our gardens at the back of the Farm House. Each year they
just appear more and more beautiful! We hope you can stop by the Shop on the weekends to see our gardens along with all the fabulous NEW products we have on display!

The Log House Studio


After a year of hard work and collaborated effort, the Log House is finished and the studio is up and running!

It was about a year ago that the Logs arrived from a Log House that originally stood in Wabash Indiana in 1840. Bill Shwantz laid the concrete slab first then Craig and Tad Van Valin began placing the logs on top. The logs were numbered when they were dismantled in Wabash so it was like putting a puzzle together (or Lincoln Logs!).

The rafters for the roof and porch were reclaimed from a Wisconsin barn and covered with cedar shingles. Tad and Craig are amazing craftsmen, this project never would have happened without their expertise.

Jamey and I finished the interior. Jamey's carpentry is amazing! I assisted with the interior chinking and painting. Bill built a brick chimney and we installed a wood stove to heat us through the winter.

Many thanks to everyone who helped this dream Studio come true. I still can't believe it happened and I smile every time I see it. :))

Log Home Update

Well...the interior of the Log Home (Studio) still has a lot to go. We are working on the upstairs window trim, the downstairs doors and floors. Next we will decide about the wall for the stairs and then paint all the interior wood and then do the chinking inside. It's got another month at least....but we are so excited! I have all the interior furniture picked out and ready to decorate!!

The collection includes characters and pieces for each season!
