Hidden Gems at Crickhollow Farm
My neighbor, friend, and landlord, Dan, is a practical man. He grows food on his organic farm, whether it's obvious (tomatoes, okra, berry bushes, fruit trees, etc.) or whether it's obscure (taro/elephant ears). He has tea camellias and knows how to use yaupon to make a coffee substitute. If it's not grown for food, it's medicinal, can be used as fertilizer, or provides wood for his heater. Even so, there are small finds on his 40 acres that pop out and add beauty, rather than practicality to the place. Some of these things, like the azaleas and the camellias, are hidden in the brush that has grown up alongside them. Others, like the boxwood, are tucked away in their own private nooks, waiting to be discovered.
