GET
YOUR GOAT names ready. This Friday night at the Virden
Farmers Market (north edge of town on Rt. 4) young goats will make
their debut and you can take part in giving them
names.
Actual color may vary!
 |
There'll
be names selected and then those receiving the most votes will be
the ones used. Come prepared with your most imaginative names! You
won't see this at the Spfld Farmers Market, no
siree!

If
you've had work done by us you have probably met Patty Brockmeyer
when the work crew arrived at your job site. She's the one dishing
out orders and the go-to person for the duration of each project.
Demanding and respected are two easy words to conjur up when
describing Patty.
Patty on the job

You'll
see her pitching in; no task is too big or small for her to manage
or tackle. When all is said and done Patty is the last to leave a
site, assuring satisfaction, one last check for trash or tools
left, and, sure, maybe taking a photo or two for the staff back at
the nursery.

Greetings!
Anybody out there hot? How about wet? What a summer of discontent
we've had and it certainly means we've shuffled projects, plants,
and people. We smile and go forward.
This
does provide pause, however, and we feel an obligation to you loyal
folks to say a few words such as "shade tree", "underground
drainage tile", "natural water runoff design", and "mulch".
Although these others have nothing to do with us, we add, "lemonade
stand", "umbrella", and "air conditioning".
In
the meantime, get the dirt below.
|
| What
goes in must come out and with our very own soil pulverizing
equipment and driver we are making some fine top soil.
Just
about all of you can relate to how we acquired this equipment.
You're driving along and you see something in front of another
property. It's for sale (or if you're having a great day, it's
free. Such was not the case for us.) You think, perhaps aloud,
"I've always wanted a ___. Think I'll check it out."
It
happened to us. It wasn't a boat or a motorcycle. It was a soil
pulverizer! Surprised? Probably not. But, it took some doing to cut
the deal, get the equipment checked out, confirm that (once again)
Jeff does know what he is doing, and get him started on playing in
the dirt.
The dirt goes in!
 |
the finest top soil around
 |
What
does this mean to you, our valued customers? Several
things:
- We
have ready to go top soil.
- Our
costs are better managed.
- The
quality control we demand is there and is
- our
responsibiity.
- Time
management is improved.
- Employee
development and local economic impacts are all
positive!
It's
a dirty job, and yes, somebody has to do it. Better us than
you!

| There
is still time to put together a fabulous plan for a great looking
fall yard, garden area, or a stamped concrete edging area. How
about a fire pit for those long-awaited cool evenings? Weiners
roasting, marshmallows perfected just in time for S'mores. Before
you know it we'll be in "sweater time". Don't we have something to
help you get ready? Ah, the Great Outdoors - it's yours to
enjoy!
Patty and Ellen
Owners
from
beginning to end, every project done right!
