 I started Bird Eye Farms about, well, I got kind of, I got serious about it probably two years ago in 2020. I've always had an interest in gardening and way back till I can remember and so it kind of just, from my interest in gardening it kind of flowed into finding market gardening like through YouTube. My husband Martin, he is, he already had a business in that he's a landscape architect but he couldn't find the native plants for his jobs so he decided that he was just going to have to grow them himself. So he had a hoop house and then we had the greenhouse for all of that and, and went just kind of started using those and so we had the infrastructure as far as you know what he needed for the basics but he has gotten so passionate about it. I mean he, he follows, he's got several farmers that he follows and I can't tell you how many books we bought him. I even have a subscription, it's a lifelong subscription to the, the lettuce gardener where it's market to, you know, growth to market and so we've really tried to support his endeavor because he's so passionate about it. I mean it's, it's pretty much to him, I mean he's a really smart kid and he did well in school but it just, it really bored him and you know he needed something that he you know enjoyed and I think when he found this and you know he started learning about the plants and just you know the, the dirt and the earth and you know usually he's out there walking barefoot in the dirt and so it's kind of funny to look out there and see him but, but I think as far as just trying to support you know his passion and what he wants to do it's been really neat to see him blossom into that kid that truly gets up every morning and can't wait to do you know being, being the farm you know being the garden and, and doing that. I like, I like learning a lot, I like learning about far farming and all the, the art behind it. I'm interested in a lot of crops but I grow only a portion of those, mainly just because it can be really hard to do all that and be really busy so I mainly grow like salad greens like lettuce mix, arugula, mescaline mix which is salad mix I guess and then spinach, baby spinach and some like full leaf spinach. I grow, my favorite thing to grow would probably be actually heirloom water melons. I grow on average probably like 20 varieties a year of water melons and cantaloupes and musk melons about another 20 varieties of those and then these heirloom tomatoes that are all around here I got like maybe 15 different heirloom varieties which is, I'm really excited about that. I try to have the biggest impact in like the meaty areas I like to provide people around here it's like fresh produce that they really couldn't get and people do say that it really makes a difference just because I'm much better and fresher it is and what they can get at the grocery store which is really, it's really encouraging and so I still like to win and I'll do a delivery every like Saturday I do have a thing called a salad box which is like it has the dressing I make the dressing the salad ingredients which is like the lettuce mix and a root vegetable like radishes or kale and I do that every Saturday during the spring season and fall. You know seeing his passion for he wants to make where we live a better place you know with the lack of chemicals and you know just making a true organic farm where he can actually you know make a difference in this area and you know provide people with the best tasting produce I think that's what really makes me proud and to see him he's always been really shy as a kid and to see him interact with his customers and he emails them and sends out newsletters just to see him number one doing what he loves and number two you know getting out and talking to people about you know what he does and communicating and I think he's just really grown as a person and I'm just I'm really proud of you know what what he's been able to do in the short amount of time and initiative he's taken. Next year is probably actually going to be my last season here because I probably I would like to it's kind of a big statement I'm probably not going to go to college I want to go around the world and kind of explore maybe for a year explore the world and then I've always had kind of a passion for also like traveling and exploring different cultures and stuff and then work on it maybe different farms for a few years to learn like the because I think it'd be cool to learn like their techniques are using how they farm and stuff like that and then come back here. From the beginning I've always been interested in doing it like in a way that would not only not harm the soil or the surrounding plants and animals but also be beneficial to it and leave it better than I found it the land better than I found it and so and also considering that like like my grandchildren out there to have a better world and like I found it and there's a lot of like distressing news and stuff and I want to be like the positive change or help be that the positive change that kind of turns out or at least makes a small even if it's a small different still meaningful.
