The Magic Bean Farm grows vegetables, herbs, flowers and holiday wreaths while working to not only maintain but improve the soil, create a habitat for native pollinators and minimize the use of non-renewable resources. The bulk of the farm work is done by hand, with traditional hand tools, a rototiller and a lot of muscle.
