About Us

Our Story (continued from Home Page)

In 2001 we experimented by growing vegetables, herbs,
and perennials at our home near St. Charles and attended
one plant sale where we earned a total of sixty-five dollars!
The next year we expanded our production of vegetables
and herbs and Tim created a CSA pilot project for two
families.  Beth expanded her production of perennials,
added flowers and designed a booth for farmer's markets
in St. Charles, and Batavia.
In 2003 we expanded our CSA to 15 vegetable shares
which we delivered to Geneva, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, and
Wheaton.  We also added a third farmers' market in Elgin
and attended more local plant sales.  This was a year of
intense learning as we struggled to learn better techniques
for growing, harvesting, processing, and preserving our
products until we could get them into the hands of our
customers.
