Triple D Ranch

Welcome to the Triple D Ranch & Luxury Urban Farm, Established in 2014. Leah and Joe have transformed this 1950’s modest ranch in Tupperware Heights into an organic garden oasis. They have done all of the work entirely by hand over the last decade, with no outside contractors.

The Greenhouse, built in fall 2014 from salvaged roadside glass, is a passive solar success story in action. South-facing, a specific roof angle matched to winter sun, thermal mass water barrels, insulated north wall, a hand dug cold sink and requires no additional heat. It is a year round home to a mature Meyer Lemon tree, a Bay Leaf Tree, sage, & rosemary bushes all planted in the ground.

The Orangery, completed in 2021, is Leah’s greatest joy.
Inspired by the grand orangeries of European estate gardens & Versailles. It was built from reclaimed lumber and salvaged windows, made luxurious with chandeliers and a fountain. Numerous citrus trees (meyer lemon, lime & calamondin), an olive tree, rosemary, lavender, kale trees, and a 45 year old bougainvillea all grow here year-round, planted in the ground.

Outside on the grounds you will find eight grapevines, two heritage apple and pear trees, heirloom seed-saved vegetables, and native pollinator plantings. Six troublemaking chickens earn their keep by providing eggs and compost. Lily, our nearly 12yr old Great Pyrenees rescue, is the queen, she presides over all of it.
She just may show you her own treehouse.
