Have some pictures of our campus! The campus is home to well over 100 western red cedar trees and we have multiple second growth stands of doug firs, hemlocks and spruces as well. Our ¾ acre pond is one of our favorite areas on the property. Trout and perch call it home and we are beginning to plant the outer edges with edible and wildlife attracting plants. The orchard and our main growing area. A homesteading couple once lived on this property 50 years ago and planted trees from all over the world. We currently have 15 producing apple trees and 1 plum. Right now, we’re gathering all of the leaves on the 8 acre property for mulching and building compost bins. We’re also clearing out bramble to make room for plantings in the spring. Jamie cleaned out the settling tank in our current water system. When we moved onto the property, there was close to 4 inches of muck on the bottom of the tank. Even though it’s now free of muck, we will soon be redesigning our water system to take full advantage of the spring fed creek running down from the top of our propety. We’ll be sure to document the process when it begins. -- source link
