U-Pick Season Begins in May 2024
Note from Farmer Jeannie- We temporarily closed the whole farm for the 2022 season because I had heart surgery. Ive since recovered but, alas, Im not the farmer I use to be so we downsized, sold most of the land and retired. We still have a small orchard and since the trees didn’t get the memo that I’m retired they are still producing fruit. I plan to run fruit picking tours when I feel up to it. Just give me a call and see what’s in season and if an appointment is available. I would love to share some of the awesome organic fruit that grows on my farm.
God bless you and stay safe,
-Farmer Jeannie

About Us:
Genesis Organic Farm was founded by Jeannie and Ted Williams in 2007. It all started with 2 acres of Dapple Fire Pluots and a small U-Pick orchard. There have been many changes over the years. We have been home to the Discovery Gardens classes, as well as, Good Seed CSA which are now closed. Sadly, Gardens 4 Education school fundraiser was permanently closed due to the Pandemic.
The grand opening of the World's First Cucamelon Maze was in 2019 but closed the maze and pumpkin patch in 2022. The Pick-Your-Own orchard remains open because the trees didn’t get the memo that I retired.
We strive to be stewards of the land and we pray that God may continue to bless all who visit here.

Small Farm, Big Deal
Keeping It Green
At Genesis, we aim to be stewards to the land. We want to give back what we take and create the most sustainable system possible for our area. We incorporate many practices borrowed from generations old organic farms and permaculture teachings. Our 1/4 acre Pick-Your-Own fields are managed following Organic practices though we are no longer required to certify due to our small size after we sold most of the land.
Meet Your Farmer
Jeannie Williams
Jeannie is the fashionista turned farmer. Ted is the IT guy who also does all the heavy lifting. We are accidental farmers. It just happened that while looking for a little place in the country that we found a good deal on a 10 acre parcel of farmland. The zoning wouldn't allow for mini-golf and go-carts. "If I'm going to farm it's got to be organic," and so, with no prior farming experience, the adventure began in 2007. Jeannie and Ted just celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary!

In Memory of Percy Jackson
Percy was a friendly little kitty that someone dropped off at the farm. He was about 8 weeks old and had crusted up eyes and a respiratory infection when we found him. We nursed him back to health and he became one of my best cats. I called him my "Lightning Thief" because he was so fast. He was an amazing hunter bringing me gifts almost daily. Squirrel was his favorite. He couldn't resist the Siren call of the squirrels. Ranging too close to the highway during one of his hunting expeditions was his undoing. He is survived by Gin Gin, Flo and Tiger Lily. I miss him so much. |
