Jim Christopher and Cathy Carpino have been married since 1992.

We have a blended family of four grown daughters all of whom have left the nest. We also have two granddaughters. Jim is an active interior designer and is interested in antiques and collectibles, gardening and all things house related. Cathy is a working educator as well as a talented singer and performer who has worked extensively in Manhattan cabarets, as well as theater, film and television. 
There’s a piano in the great room. If you play, she’ll sing!

The name Green Acres is no accident. Yes, it is from the TV show of the same name. Jim is a wanna be farmer and Cathy would prefer an apartment in Manhattan! Recognize the characters? Our little piece of heaven represents a healthy
compromise which we love so much, we wanted to share it with others.

Feel free to explore the ever changing gardens. Flowering shrubs and perennials bloom throughout the seasons.

The woods bloom with hundreds of naturalized daffodils in the spring. Walk through the vegetable garden in the
summer and snack on fresh beans or a warm tomato. Blackberries, raspberries and blueberries are natures snack foods.

Help yourself to a taste. No pesticides are used in our organic gardens.
