We passed this greenhouse as we approached the camp ground yesterday and ask the person in the office about it. As we suspected
are grown here and we walk over to check it out. This building is huge, really huge. I need two photos to get it all.
It looks like the empty land next to the building is staked out for future expansion. We enter the building at the reception area. We are told that tours are not allowed, but we can purchase
tomatoes for $1.00/pound. These are the "on the vine" tomatoes sold in the grocery stores for $3.00+/pound. No one can pass up this opportunity. The
tomatoes are grown hydroponically and since they are sheltered in the greenhouse there is not need for pesticides. There is a large photo of the rows of tomato plants and the growing system on the wall which is almost as good as looking inside the growing area. We are familiar with the hydroponic growing system since we have seen it presented in a booth at the
Ventura Home & Garden Show.
We visit the Hale Farm & Village, set in the heart of the Cuyahoga Valley, which it an outdoor living history museum. This is the first home built on the land. It was originally two stories. Approaching this house was like being in a story about a house in the woods. The place is surrounded by forest, except where the land has been cleared for pasture and farming. The family garden is at the right, and beyond that is the fenced pasture with grazing cattle.
The hearth of the home. The docent
describes how cooking and baking is done and points out the various equipment used. She says that she usually has a fire going and cooks and bakes during the day, but this particular day too hot.
The setting just inside the front entry door. At our backs is a bed, furniture pieces with drawers, various gardening equipment in the
corner, and a rocking chair. The furnishings are what was contained in the house while it was used as a home. A "newer" house is on the property which was built with brick made here. That house is large and very nice, but this one is more interesting.
The blacksmith shop. We watch the
blacksmith work and look at the display of the tools and items he has made. He has also made much of the iron implements we saw in the log house.
The sheep barn which now is used for broom making demonstrated for visitors.
More out buildings and the brick house beyond them. This is our view as we leave the log house.
One of the many vinyards we pass on our way to the next destination.
