Here are some photos of our crops taken on July 8, 2009. Come explore Mahaffie in the Spring and Summer to see how our farm will grow!
The corn field will be Bloody Butcher, a 19th Century field corn. Our garden will have 19th Century Heirloom vegetables.
	Come help our garden and fields grow! Help water, weed, and as the season goes on, help harvest the bounty! All crops and produce will be used in our 19th Century foodways program. When you explore the cellar of the 1865 Mahaffie home, the person cooking on the cookstove will be using what is grown in the garden and fields. When the food is not being used for those programs, we will be preserving the extra, just like the Mahaffie family would have done! Happy Farming!
