Belle Vie Food Forest
Belle Vie Farm is currently growing figs, blueberries, persimmon, wild blackberries and plums (new). We are also planning for elderberries. This past year, we began planning our first food forest, which will include several varieties of plum trees, American persimmons, several varieties of blueberries, mulberries and peach trees.
​
We believe our farm may have, at one time, had a persimmon orchard growing here. For the first several years, we noticed lots of hard knot-like roots that we kept trying to remove. One day, we realized that whatever was growing was very hardy! It turns out the roots were American Persimmon tree roots. We are in the process of choosing which trees are the healthiest (and female, the only ones which produce fruit).
