Home is Where the Heart Is
Bees are a big importance to our production
and that is why they are in our name.
Without bees, where would we be?
We chose this name because it take bees to make almost anything to grow. This is why 
Bees is in our name: we think it is that important. We need to encourage bees and butterflies to visit our yards with bright, colored flowers. This way we encourage the population to grow because they have been diminishing lately. Twenty-five percent diminished is what has been reported. Last news we have gotten on the bees is that it is a virus that is killing them.
Our company gardens have many flowers that pollinators love and they come and visit our gardens every day. They are full of herbs, spinach, herbal teas as well as the flowers. We have chamomile, curley spearmint, lemon verbena, pineapple mint, fennil, apple mint and holy basil. Stevia is being planted in the herbal tea garden so we will have our own sweetener. Please contact us if you have any suggestions on what you would like to see grown as a tea. The picture below is one of our herb gardens and is getting ready to start ripening produce and herbs soon. Surrounding this garden now is 5 raised beds and a container garden. In the front we have a vegatable garden. We will be using all organic seeds and plants from nurseries all over.
We have been paying attention to what is going on in the world today and we believe we need to plan ahead. Starting an herb and vegatable garden to have fresh foods for winter is a good place to start. We all need to help with the failing bee population too by planting heirloom plants and flowers. This way
pollinations is true.
I grew up on a farm in Cave Junction in Southern Oregon. We had a Grade B Goat Dairy, Lilac Valley Dairy Goats. One hundred head of purebred does of all breeds were what kept the farm in milk and other dairy products. We did all of our own gardening, canning, and preserving. We made all of our own cheese, butter, cottage cheese and soaps to name a few. Sewing was another subject I learned quite extensively. I want to have classes on all of these subjects in
the future after things get more organized here. As a community, we need to learn the basics and go back to them. Starting with feeding ourselves from home gardening. As a company, this is what we are doing as our first move to be selfsustaining. We will then move on to incorporating the other subjects of self-suficiency into the circle of life.
This is one of my gardens in the back yard. This has all herbs or herbal tea plants in them and many marigolds for helping with some of the pest control. Some of them got out of hand and seem to have taken over.
