I’m Joanne, the owner and gardener of Happy Smile Farm. I have been gardening since I was a toddler, and I am always looking for better ways to garden organically. I grow most of what my family eats year-round, but I always have some extra. So I sell that and other items at our Happy Smile Farm stand at 1041 Ivanhoe Road in the Fort Chiswell, Virginia area.
During my off-season, I make and donate fidget quilts to nursing homes and retirement homes. There are some fidget quilts left at the end of the season, so I am also selling those at the farmstand to replenish my quilt supplies. Thanks to the many people who have donated supplies and materials, especially the Crochet Queen for her pompoms and her small doilies and her nonstop search for discounted zippers and what-nots. Oh, and a special shout out to Louise for donating her daughter’s multi-thousand button collection and boxes of cloth. Also to Della for her 40+ skeins of yarn. I’ll be busy for a while!
