Breaking Ground: Started this weekend with heavy equipment, clearing a driveway, chopping cedars to be used for fencing, and clearing enough area for our greenhouse. Punching a hole in the overgrown brush and dead trees makes room for ample sunlight to help our microgreens thrive in their new home!

Greenhouse clearing at the end of a very long driveway |
Some of these vines were 8" wide, wrapping around otherwise healthy oak trees. We'll continue widening the driveway, and moving fallen trees around this week, then leveling the greenhouse pad - bringing in gravel and whatnot. Then the greenhouse will be delivered - any takers on assistance with raising it???

This land was suffocating itself with overgrowth and vines |

Almost see the excavator at the far end, making it's way to the greenhouse pad |
Also in our discoveries on this property - we've found that part of it was orchard (peaches and cherries)... we've managed to salvage a few, clear some room for them to flourish, and hopefully keep them around for future pickin's! The peaches aren't very big (golf ball size) but I think we'll have a small crop this year... the cherries have been donated to the many birds though.
Sounds like a big project but very productive for your business. Best wishes and best of luck with it.
