Swift Garden July 7, 2008

Ardyce and Jim Swift garden in the Crooked River valley overlooking Smith Rocks, just outside Terrebonne, Oregon. They're on some of the best soil in central Oregon and the elevation is about 500' lower than in Bend just a few miles to the south. They've been gardening here for some 30 years and have been feeding friends and family from their vegetable garden for about as long. They have two heated greenhouses to get an early start on the season, and to raise produce through the winter months.
