Welcome!
Thanks for visiting our website! If you live in Hancock County, feel free to stop into our office on the corner of Park Avenue and Apple Street in Greenfield to ask about your lawn, garden and questions about our natural resources. I enjoy meeting you and helping you with those questions. If you have any educational opportunities you would like me to speak at, I am happy to come and share on Agriculture and Natural Resources topics. I especially enjoy pollinators, beekeeping, diversified farming, but love all aspects of farming and growing!
