Their farm is located amidst over 200 acres of unspoiled Appalachian forest in the Foothills east of Berea, Kentucky. Their property includes a rich diversity of plant and animal species, and is managed as a wildlife preserve.Incredible displays of wildflowers color the hillsides in spring, an amazing variety of wild mushrooms bloom there virtually year-round, and the woods and forest edges abound with wild foods of all kinds. The half-acre, spring-fed pond above the gardens provides both irrigation and delightful swimming throughout the growing season. Their cabin at the end of the road surrounded by beautiful forest and just 15 minutes outside of Berea provides an ideallic getaway and something of a window to days gone by.
