I've been a farmer for over 65 years. Though I've grown practically every
crop possible, it wasn't until 1945 when I started growing strawberries. I sharecropped strawberries up until the late 1950's when I was then able to get a well drilled on my own land. Being a small farmer has been very rewarding in many ways and I have no regrets. I have especially enjoyed growing strawberries. Within the past 15 years I became interested in farming naturally without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. Because I grow strawberries on a small scale, I have been able to experiment with natural growing means, and I am very content with the results. Healthy living and maintaining a healthy environment is important to me. You may see us selling by the roadside. To reserve your order of strawberries from us, call 210-440-3649 or 210-778-7778. |
