The Peterson Farm as viewed from our driveway<\/p><\/div>\n

Yes, we are lucky enough to live across the street from a small, working, chemical-free farm.\u00a0 In a mere 6 acres, Ettamarie and Ray Peterson manage to raise hundreds of pumpkins (including several delicious varieties, not just ornamental ones), fresh eggs, glorious raw honey, and a few miscellaneous things depending on the season.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we always get our Halloween pumpkins here.\u00a0 This year they graced our Sukkah<\/a> too.\u00a0 They make good pie<\/a> when they’re done being pretty.<\/p>\n

Neighbors wander in as needed for a carton of eggs or a jar of honey but this isn’t an attraction you can just drive over to: make an appointment first.\u00a0 Mostly, they host school groups.\u00a0 The joyous noise of children discovering their perfect pumpkin floats through our windows all October.<\/p>\n

But what Peterson’s Farm is famous for is Ettamarie and her bees.\u00a0 Here she is showing off a real hive inside a glass display case (there is a hose off to the right, through the window, that lets the bees go outside as desired).<\/p>\n
