Camping available!
For the 2020 season we are only allowing camping. B&B rooms are closed and all farm dinners cancelled until further notice. To ensure safety of our campers, we are allowing couples, families, or small groups to camp together. We only have one outdoor bathroom, so to avoid virus infection, we do not want campers exposed to other guests who are not part of their group. See our camping page http://www.greenhousebed.com/camping.htm for accommodation details.

It has been a fabulous year for fruit! Shown here are some of our nectarines. This is the first year in decades that we have had fruit like this. While the weather has been good for fruit, the main reason we have good fruit this year is the low insect pressure, particularly the absence of plum curculio, a type of weevil (we don't use insecticides). I think the absence of insects this year is a direct result of the absence of fruit last year. Last year the fruit trees all bloomed during the excessively warm month of March, only to have the young fruit all freeze during April. As a result, there was no habitat for the insects to reproduce since most insects damaging to fruit raise their young inside the fruit. Regardless the reason for the lack of insects, we have an abundance of not only nectarines but plums, pears, peaches, cherries, currants, raspberries, apples, and persimmons. Now we just need to find time to harvest and process it all.

The Asian pear trees are in full bloom, along with just about every other fruit tree in the yard. The plums and currants in particular smell wonderful - not to mention the lilacs.

We purchased our 1900's vintage farmhouse in 1986. Having sat unoccupied for almost four years, it was in need of extensive renovation. We immediately set to work and over the years renovated the main house, then in 1991 added a sunroom that we now use for meals and for weddings. We are
