We finally found some time to open the bee hives and harvest some honey, after ordering an extractor from Brushy Mountain. A great discovery—the bees will clean all the excess honey residue off the extractor, if the equipment is left outside. Wish we could let them loose in the kitchen.
The pace has picked up in the garden with weeding, watering, picking and processing taking more of our time. See the garden slideshow.

About Me
- Argosy Farm
- After years of fast-paced, hectic living, I'm looking for a saner, more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle. I've purchased 14 acres of raw land and I'm slowly carving out an organically-based farm. Rules of the game: protect and nurture the land, while integrating simple low-impact, self-sufficient concepts such as ecological design and building, natural and heritage food production, and alternative energy. And most challenging of all, pay as I go without mortgaging my soul. I invite you to follow my progress as I learn the joys and pitfalls of farming, building and more.
