This magnificent flower has always been one of my favorites.   The first time I planted wisteria was from a cutting from my grandmother’s yard.  Mom said to put some rooting hormone on it and stick it in the ground.  I was skeptical but, lo and behold, a glorious vine began to grow.  Having loved it my whole life but not understanding its strength, I decided to plant it so it would grow across the banister on my front porch.  A few years later, I had to replace the banister and re-train the wisteria. It was a valuable lesson. 

Before Steve was able to move from St. Louis to Arkansas, we would talk on the phone A LOT,  dreaming about what our lives would be like when hundreds of miles didn’t separate us. One of the things that I have struggled with my entire adult life is getting mired down by the mundane activities of daily life. Get up, get ready, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed, get up….you know the drill. 

We love to cook! We both come from a long line of good cooks and sitting down to share a meal with friends and family means so much to us. Some of our best memories are around a dining room table with the people we love.  When you come for a visit to the Farm, rest assured you won't go hungry and we will do our best to make something for you that's delicious and memorable.
