09/16/11A visit from one of Crabtree Farms’ neighbors
Robert Neal remembers growing up near the property where Crabtree Farms is now located. Now 83 years old, he still lives right next door to the house he was born in, and his backyard runs right into the farm. He visited us for the first time today since Crabtree opened over 10 years ago.
Mr. Neal told us about going down to the creek next to the farm and hunting for crayfish, and hunting rabbits where our Shiitake mushroom logs are now. He also recounted stories about the people who lived and worked here ago, and how there were even horses that grazed here. It was fascinating to hear his stories and about the history of the land we grow on! We are very honored that he stopped by!
