Was very convinced, when these first germinated, that we had an excellent, but scattered (maybe we had accidentally spilled seed?) crop of carrots coming in…

still excellent, still scattered but this patch is definitely dill that reseeded itself from the spring season😅

all’s well- now we’re hosting a jungle gym of swallowtail caterpillars 🐛🤸‍♂️

What’s that? You tire of the monotony of the abundance that is summer potatoes?! Fear not, this potato is in a category of its own. It far surpasses the base characteristics of starchy vegetables. For it is a golden hour potato and as it sits in its golden hour we should be reminded that there is no monotony in potatoes! or

thank you for understanding.

Each season brings its own challenges to growing food. We both want to be able to better navigate these challenges when they arise. Using conservation practices in the field is one way we know would help.

Thanks to and a handful of other partner organizations we were both accepted into the Center for Rural Affairs 2022 Beginning Farmers Conservation Fellowship. We’re excited to expand our understanding of conservation as we strive to grow food in a way that is best for the environment that sustains us and the community that relies on us as farmers.

It’s been a productive and exciting week. With our 2nd CSA until our belt, we’re really starting to figure out our rhythm and team dynamic.
Our summer crops are in, the fam came out to plant, we got the flowers blooming. We’re feeling grateful and ready for a restful weekend ✨

Last night was our first pickup of the season🥹 what a feeling it is to be one small part of a worldly network of food. Meeting our members was such a highlight. Growing local food with intention was our motivation in the beginning. Having met the people who believe in what we’re doing gives working through the hard parts of this a whole new perspective.

Next up! the number of people involved in helping this happen and so beautifully (!) is far more than the two of us. To all the humans on and off Instagram, thank you for lifting us when you could. We are looking forward to when we can return the favors. and the non instagrammers.

Gratitude to the both of us as well- We keep showing up 🌱 That speaks volumes.

See (some of) you next Thursday!

We officially have made all 20+ beds😅 got all our beans in the ground. Okra, squash, cucumbers and nightshades coming soon. Time is truly flying. It’s a blessing to be out here connecting w this spot and learning so much everyday. Thank you everyone for the continued to support. Our first CSA is a week from today! 🥬🥦

Snap shots of working through and with what nature sends our way. Beets, cabbage, and peas are some crops that are in their element right now.

As for us, we are in our element of trying, observing, and learning. So we stay forever wide eyed and muddy.

13 days til’ our spring CSA session starts!
