Welcome to Mike's home grown farm.
Hey folks my name is mike and I live on a one acre parcel of land here in flagler county Florida. Like a lot of other folks I went through some hard time with the failing economy and came up with some ideas to make a living by working on my land.
Well it is starting to come together and I want to share with you what I have planed and to bring folks here so they too can enjoy and reap the benefits of my hard work. So keep coming back to see the progress and watch us grow.
I have made a lot of changes here on the farm since i first started my web sight. The newest change i have made is my business is now an llc.I also attended a two day class at the Florida university called how to start a successful hydroponic business. I have added a blog on my web sight as well were you can go and check what updates I have been making here on the farm.

Hydroponics Gardening
This is the hydro ponics garden part at the very beginning.
The grey can holds the water and nutrients with a pump on a timer.
The timer is set to go on four times a day in the hot summer weather.
I get two days of watering out of each full can.

Hydroponics Vegetable Garden
Here as you can see the garden is growing very well. So fare I have tried a lot of different crops to see which ones will work the best
Some of the crops I have been harvesting are beets, tomatoes,squash,lettuce,and lot more.
I tried corn and it did ok but not great.Most everything else has been doing great.

something new every day
I have made a few changes around the farm.I have added a lot more plants and put up some shade to cut down on the summer heat we have here.The two day class i attended at the Florida state university called how to start a successful hydro ponics business was great.They stuffed us with so much information in just two days. I have since spent a lot of time on the web learning much more because they gave me a good direction to go.I have also started a Facebook page that i update all the time you should check it out.

You Have To Try Grass Fed Eggs
We have about 15 hens right now and they give us the best eggs I have ever had.
They are fed a grain feed from a local feed yard that make there own that do not have any chemicals or additives in it.
What makes the eggs so good is the fact the hens spend all day in the grass eating natural feed all day like bugs,grass and what ever else they find and eat. I have a great love for the grass fed egg. All the folks i have eating the eggs love them and i do not have enough to go around.I am now hatching some of my eggs to grow my flock to have more eggs,This is all becoming so much fun.
