I always knew when I was finished with college I wanted to start a business and have a beautiful family. Thanks to my wife of 19 years and 3 beautiful children the latter half came to me as a blessing. I knew the difficult part for me was going to be finding my true "thing" I was passionate about doing. Day after day I brainstormed, pondered, deliberated, and contemplated and in the short term I could come up with nothing. So, I went back to my Italian roots and added in a little childhood favorite and it hit me! My grandfather's parents were from Italy and he had gardening and growing deep inside his DNA. He had a two acre vegetable garden he planted by hand and my grandmother would help pick, can, and cook all of it and give most of it to their five children's families. Though vegetables would eventually not be the item I grew, flowers, bushes, trees are not a whole lot different and the experience with my grandparents gave me a sure head start in that category.
