The current residents(son of the owners) have occupied the property for approximately 18 years and have focused on a sustainable lifestyle by planting fruit trees(sour cherries, pear trees, apricot trees, apple tree) and also have planted raspberries and enjoy harvesting the wild plums, and wild currants that grow near the river. This sustainable lifestyle has inlcuded developing multiple garden beds, including vegetables that are suited to the area, and especially large plots of garlic, both for sale at the local market and particular restaurants. The property comes with a hoop style greenhouse, and several outbuildings for storage. The resident/ owner bases his lifestyle on sustainability and the gardens and landscaping upon the tenets and philosophy of permaculture.
