Five years ago, we were starting over.

Winter growing of our Moringa. We are using our 20x24 tunnel to grow and sprout new plants. These are all from seed and at various stages.

Something calming is growing at Stoney Vista Farm…
🌿✨
After years of dreaming, blending, and personally testing…
I’m finally creating a new herbal night elixir designed to help you rest, soften, and breathe again.

No Melatonin
No flavors.
No fillers.
Just pure, botanical calm.

Stay close — the moonlit magic is almost here. 🌙💚

We have installed our electricity at our new garden location. Next up is the well. For 2026 we will expand our moringa trees to have the ability to produce more supplements from our very own moringa. This will be unlike other moringa you buy from online or in Wal-Mart. Most of the bulk moringa comes from China and India.

We've received our nursery certificate from the department of agriculture. We've also received our building permit for power and well for the new garden and event area.

This drought is taking its toll on our Fall growing season. The grass is crunchy, too. 😒 I think someone turned off the weather machine. There are no hurricanes in peak hurricane season. This is odd. 🌀

Everyone has been asking about a video. Here's a short one of the late Summer mess in the tunnel.

This is one of the driest springs that I can remember in NW Florida. I haven't planted alot and it was late. Although, the roses are still doing well.

THIS IS NOT GOOD.
You know I am a beekeeper and there is great reason for concern.
Honeybee deaths have hit record highs in the US, with the unprecedented loss of colonies pushing many beekeepers close to ruin as scientists scramble to identify the main cause of the huge declines. Commercial beekeepers have reported losing more than 60% of their colonies, on average, over the winter, according to an ongoing Project Apis survey that covers more than two-thirds of America’s managed bees.
The loss of bees, both captive and wild, in the US is already starting to limit the supply of some food crops and is reducing the yield of honey.
There are likely many factors causing the decline.
What can you do?
We’ll if you are up to it try beekeeping.
It is an awesome hobby and I’ll help you.
Also, plant bee friendly plants.
Some that are particularly alluring to bees include: Lavender, Sunflowers, Clover, Wildflowers, Borage, Rosemary, Coneflowers, Monarda (bee balm), Blueberries, Black-eyed Susans.
Let your lawn grow with clover a couple months out of the summer.
And DO NOT use nasty chemical pesticides harmful to bees.
There are safer alternatives.
Do your part.
PROTECTING BEES BENEFITS US ALL.

From Susie McDevitt :

🚨 Wolf Creek Development Phase 1 Meeting Update 🚨

The meeting scheduled for Thursday, August 22nd, regarding the Wolf Creek Development Phase 1 has been TABLED!

Just 34 minutes before quitting time today, I received an email and confirmed via telephone that the meeting has been postponed.

Here’s what I learned:

A recent public comment required the Environmental Planner to revisit the application and the project site. It turns out there's protected habitat on the site that must be preserved. As a result, the developer has requested more time to assess the habitat and possibly redesign a portion of the project. The next proposed meeting date is September 10th at 1:00 PM in Defuniak, but it's up to the Board to honor that request. There's also a chance the meeting could be continued to September 26th.

This is a small victory, but it’s not over yet. The developer will be back, and we need to stay vigilant. Please share this information with any neighbors who were planning to attend the meeting, and let’s keep our community informed and engaged.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support!
