It is the perfect environment for our red raspberry production. Gentle slopes provide the air circulation needed to grow large sweet raspberries. The field area we chose is surrounded by Tulip Poplars, one of the first trees to bloom in spring. The tulip poplars bring the first bees of the season, an important ingredient to raspberry growing!

We also harvest shagbark hickory nuts and also produce shagbark hickory syrup almost forgotten by modern folk!

I have 10 acres to experiment with medicinal and wellness herbs Native Americans have known about forever. Herb production is only getting larger in scale. I have introduced, successfully, many well known herbs which we used in our teas and body products. Of course the culinary herbs are also thriving in this environment as well as our annual production of stevia.

Our 10 acres are heavily wooded providing the perfect environment for woodland mushrooms. There are so many varieties of mushrooms that grow in our forest, we haven't been able to identify all of them yet. We offer as available, morels, chanterelles and waxcaps. We have also discovered that the land is home to many sassafrass trees and we now produce traditionally handmade file powder, another culinary ingredient known to Native Americans and almost forgotten by modern man! And if the critters done't get them, we harvest Ohio Pawpaws. The Pawpaw is recognized as Ohio's native fruit, also known as Ohio banana, tastes like a banana!
