In Spring 2016, volunteers began building a brand new kitchen garden behind the house! With guidance from Karen Mohn, the group planted a period-specific vegetable garden behind the farmhouse. Included were whole beans, bush beans, melons, pumpkins, turnips, beets, squash, ground cherries. The plants are heirloom varieties from the late 19th century obtained from the Landis Valley Farm Museum. Karen also donated ferns & irises to plant in beds around the house. The garden has now become an annual staple at the farm. Many thanks to Karen and the volunteers!
