Growing Daylilies is the primary activity at the farm. But other crops and livestock are integrated into the life of the place in an effort to provide more of its own needs, as well as the needs of the family. Garlic and green manure crops are grown, as well as sheep and chickens.

The sheep range through several pastures in the summer and spend the winter in the barnyard. A small handspinner's flock of just five to 10, the annual shearing yields some highly-coveted fleeces. And the chickens provide us with plenty of eggs.

Vegetable plots give us all the variety we want in fresh summer foods. There has been a year-round supply of potatoes for many years. And our long-keeping Butternut Squash (Bloomingfields Farm Strain) is a three-season staple. (Order Squash seed.)

The life of the farm changes from day to day all year long, yet the permanence of its cycles and its inter-related economies assure us of our own place in nature.
