This lovely place that looks like a farm is actually an event and catering space called Farm Kitchen. Once a working farm, it now employs local farmers, like Christine, to 'keep up appearances,' while owners Hollice and Anne bring in unsuspecting wedding parties and B&B guests. They all do a lovely job!
While planning our harvest around events can sometimes be hairy, the extra growing space it affords makes Leapfrog work. Here's where all those lovely flowers live. Above, the zinnias.
And here are the asters, azuratum, statis, cone flowers, straw flowers, and the other wacky things that make Christine's bouquets so unique. Stay tuned for a more in depth look at the flowers we grow...
And also the corn field... and the pumpkin patch. Shout out to the sweet potatoes that are trying not to drown!
Not sure if there's wine making in my future, but Hollice has a lovely grape crop coming along.
And the brassicas, red cabbage, green cabbage, broccoli, cauli, raabe and arugula. The fall crop went in today.
If you can believe it, these seemingly large spaces only add up to 2/3 acre when combined with the two tiny gardens at Leapfrog home base. Still an incredible amount of food!
