We were so pleased to see the farm on Halloween Friday after the rain last week. It has been dry with an elevated fire risk so the moisture was more than welcome. Oftentimes the storms will bounce right over the mountains and miss the farm so we were lucky it hit us. The Asimina triloba (pawpaws) we planted this year need an inch of water a week so the rainfall also meant we did not have to carry water to them. We would like more rain to come consistently and we’re grateful for any rain we get.
St Andrews Forest Farm 
Your farm looks so cool. Where is it located? I assume somewhere south of MN since you have paw paws.
We are in Virginia. We have hundreds of native pawpaws and also have planted seedlings and cultivars to add more DNA to promote the wild ones to fruit. We are also increasing light in the forest for the pawpaws by taking out some understory competition. 👍🏼😃
Congrats on so many views… and how lucky of you to have wild orchids on your farm!
I know right? I had no idea they grew in the wild in the US. We have Cranefly orchids, Downy Rattlesnake and these Putty Root. I’ll try to get pics of them in bloom. We have lots of those other two but only 2 of the last. So they are rare for us although not rare … 😃
I like the tiny details of this post, especially the lovely photos.
Thank you so much.
Very beautiful pics
Thank you!
