The west grove got knocked down to make space for the new greenhouse. In this video, see how the land gets cleared. Farmer Margie Pikarsky talks about moving forward with the project, no looking back.
There’s still a couple days left to donate to the Indiegogo fundraiser, to help Margie pay for the greenhouse. It’s easy to do, just a mouse click away! Every dollar helps, so give what you can. Thanks!

In this Throwback Thursday video, Farm manager Nicole Firori said goodbye to her beloved avocado trees last month. The west grove got cut down to make room for the large new greenhouse at Bee Heaven Farm.
Farmer Margie Pikarsky needs the greenhouse to grow more organic veggie and tomato seedlings, both for the farm and for sale to the public.
