The Man Who Planted Trees

Better Days, Baby!

GENE & I

We've enjoyed our lives together for a decade...and still! The first thing he did for me was build a tepee on the "land between two rivers" - designing, selecting and cutting the trees, and raising the structure which towered over us.

He has been an inspiration to watch from the beginning. I have learned more of his multifaceted skills including building, haying, engineering everything, and ingenuity surpassing a mere mortal. I bestow praise on Gene for the pleasure of witnessing his creative virtue and resourcefulness. He is an enclyclopedia of strength, work, and judgement. A true Renaissance Man!

In Memory of Our Brother, Anthony

Art in Nature

Our farm holds this view interpreted by the painter, the photographer, the writer, the musician - we all share a space and preserve a moment in that which we create by living. Creative people share an affinity with nature that is powerfully moving. Wonderfully uplifting moments in my life have happened in the mist of this natural and spiritual beauty of the farm. Similarly, artists have inspired me as I admire their work and boldly create my own in words and photos! Thank you to all who have shared their creative work on Ambrosia Farms!

Ambrosia Farms Italian Farmhouse Meals

The rewards of hard and continual farm work are the priceless meals easily prepared from the harvest bounty. Ask anyone who visits our farm what they give - labor of love - and what they receive - great food and fun! We always hear, "that was the best meal, or the hottest shower, or the most quiet sleep!" We're pretty sure it stems from the simple rewards of fresh air and hard work! Take it from the contadini - they sure know how to live!
