Kale, lettuce, peas and corn


Jonathan and Cristina have nurtured every one of these plants from
seed. We are so thankful for their loving effort.

Our First Customers


Hayden and Dawn Sears take a bite of some fresh picked White Russian
Kale grown at Whiskey Creek Organics. Hayden was the previous owner
of the land and it seemed only fair that he and Dawn be the first to sample
our first produce.

The fruits of our labor...


This is the first salad made ever made from Whiskey Creek Organic
produce. The greens are organic White Russian Kale grown from seed on
the farm.

Look mom... here's your salad. (At least it's a start.)



Grama Pip wanted to know when she could have a salad... so here's the
answer. Right now. As long as it's a White Russian Kale or Baby
Spinach salad.

Kale, Peas, Spinach, Lettuce and Corn




















This may look like a greenhouse, but it's actually a cold house. Without endwalls or a heating system, it's main purpose is to keep the spring rains off the crops and allow the sun to warm the ground. Once these crops are harvested we will wait a bit, then replace them with fall crops and use the coldhouse to extend the season.

Irrigation lines


Jonathan rented a trencher to get a new irrigation line to the
greenhouses. Hand watering was taking over 2 hours of valuable
daylight. Since our water pressure occurs naturally (Whiskey Creek
is above the farm and the water is delivered at 80 psi) we have a
zero carbon footprint when we irrigate our crops.
