We are Illinois gardeners that decided to grow fruit and vegetables.  We started in 2005 with a small corner of our yard which had a few tomato, onion, lettuce, and carrot plants.  After that year we decided to expand our garden to our entire yard, so we had 5 trees removed from our back yard. We then planted in both front and back yards and have continued to this day. We have a saying; if you want grass and trees go to the park.

We have shared our abundance with those that need a little helping hand.  We have served it to friends and family, where we have received rave reviews regarding the great flavor of what we have grown. We have also canned, preserved, and froze the rest of what has come out of our garden to feed us and our children during the winter months.
