Welcome to Twisted Maple Farm

Purchased in spring of 2016, 20+ acres. The old house was built in 1920 and it has a spring well.



The farm produces; hay, honey, blackberries, tumeric, and horseradish at this time, in small quanities. Buffalo garlic  grows wild everywhere that is fantastic. We have Gala, granny smith and honeycrisp apple trees planted, along with a Sarasota and a domestic elderberry bush. She also has several different kinds of sage that she grows for smudge sticks.



 
Jeannine grows our veggies in raised beds, and only grows enough for us to eat and can for winter. Her salsa and pasta sauce is the best!

One of our neighbors referred to our place as the "flower house", which made Jeannine's day as she has a 80' of rock wall covered in many different flowers than bloom throughout the summer.

Jeannine currently has 3 beehives. The three produce about 80+ pounds of honey in a year. Its a good amount for trades, selling to friends and nieghbors and our use.

She reuses mason jars and old whisky bottles for her honey sales.

This spring, J had several requests for honey with the comb. So, this was something new and she made it happen. She is also harvesting a lot of the top cover comb to use in processing out pure beeswax. Beeswax is beautiful in its raw form.

Our farm is located on a 7 mile loop road and surrounded by large hunting properties. We hope it stays this way for  a few years.

We have seen more growth activity in the last 4-5 years than we have previously. Our road was repaved 2 years ago, and we now have high speed 2 Gig Fiber available to us. We have seen a lot of new homes that have been built on those properties along our road.

Property values in this area are exploding because we are 1 hour away from Nashville and Huntsville and both cities area growing! Since we purchased in 2016, the property acerage has tripled in price.
Huntsville is expanding so fast, it is just crazy. We are really glad we moved when we did, because I would not want to fight the traffic in Huntsville any longer. Its still better than Nashville on any day.
