We started out going to a weekly organic farmer’s market over in
Thomasville but transitioned to a CSA after 2 years. We will explain why
and show you how our gardens have taken shape over these past few years. We
are still a small operation after 4 years choosing to grow our business
slowly. However, we have learned a great deal during these growing years.
Plus we have gleaned much from other folks which we will be implementing
over the next few years. We are grooming the farm as a business venture for
our son, who does most of the labor.
Christine grew up in a little town in central Florida called
Micanopy. A country girl at heart she has lived all over Florida
with her “country club” husband of 25 years, Larry, and
their two
suburbanite children, TJ and Angela. They moved to South Georgia 7
years ago to be next to Christine’s parents and her brother and his
family. It is sometimes a comical mix with the conventional farming
her family does and the natural farming that the Hagens do.
Christine’s Dad refers to them as the “Sophisticated Hippies that
live down the hill.”
