Wow! Certainly some lovely gardening weather is upon us showing full warm sun, intermittent clouds and gentle rain coming and going. We’ll bring lots of lovely plants in the morning. They’re ready to take advantage of a couple cooler cloudy days, perfect weather in which to plant, giving roots a chance to establish before strong sun arrives! We hope you’ll choose to be a gardener this season, even if the only space you have is a few large pots out on the edge of the porch. 🪴Growing, tending to, watching the ebb and flow of vitality in real life (instead of on a screen)…this is the kind of thing that speaks to us at a core level. Get in touch with your soul 😉…at the Farmer’s Market…in the morning friends.

The nursery is poppin’! And now is the time to start your garden! 🪴
This Memorial Weekend we are remembering farms of our past…a few years ago we hustled so hard for the picture of a beautiful thriving garden that the backs and spirits were truly broken, this year we serve one master though he has not yet been a year on the earth. He is far wiser a leader than our previous ambitions to supply all and present all in excellent beauty. Under his leadership this year, the rocking chair is ahead of the plow, the tiny bites of food in mouth or on the floor precede the weeds, the bell-like yells of joy are honored before the blossoms fruit. We are parents before we are farmers before we are artists of the landscape. Thank you to the child! And to you, those who watch and wait, the vegetables will arrive at his discretion.

This week we’re bringing your Cucumber, Squash and Melon Plants for the first time! We’re tending to a beautiful crew of Tomato Plants, Peppers, Herbs, Eggplant and More. The moon is new, now may be a really great time to collect your garden plants, harden them off and then anticipate the best planting moment. It’s never truly “safe” to put the garden in here in the Rocky Mountains where temperatures rise and fall like the speculations on the price of oil, but the season is relatively short so practiced gardeners are always looking for a chance to get things planted as early as possible! Another beautiful Spring morning awaits us tomorrow, see you then ☀️

We moved our Greenhouse this Spring, but have yet to reconstruct our field High Tunnels, and more importantly, have not yet rebuilt worthy soil inside those tunnels…in layman’s terms, the Heirloom Tomatoes are not yet planted and will be over a month behind schedule! Last year we asked you all to plant gardens as our production diminished due to the arrival of our child…this year it’s likely even more important that you get a garden planted while we reconstruct this farm. We know it’s a big ask from busy people, we’re struggling to get even a few things planted for our home…but we’ll say, if anything is worth the struggle, gardening is. Garden’s are teachers in the purest sense. We are bringing as many plants as we can to market, we’ll see you tomorrow morning :)

Some of you have raised infant children, so you understand…and some of you have relocated an entire decade’s worth of farm infrastructure in a single season, so ya’ll understand…and then there are those who try to do both at once…are there really those who try to do both at once? Needless to say, you will witness Bowman Farm hobbling along through this season. Yet surprise of all surprises, we are coming to market with a well stocked nursery and that is due partly to some regular stubborn work ethic, but mostly due to the profound generosity of a few who have donated their time to help us out. Thank you Aaron Stratton for gifting us your time and your crew to pour a foundation for our greenhouse, thanks to Brian Miesch for excavating and loaning a dump trailer, thanks to Shane Booth for helping piece the structure back together and thank you Becky, and Kaye, and Elmer, and Cindy, and Joy, and Cheli, and Story, and Terry, and Diana, and Cap, and Iris, and Annette, and Jill, and Joe, and Dana for giving us your labor to get all these garden plants off to a great start! We’re coming to market, we’ll be there on Saturday, and we’ll keep trying our best to show up with the products of our expertise. So if you’ve ever wanted to get a taste of the small market farm world, this is a perfect season to offer a hand or an arm or a back to the cause of rebuilding Bowman Farm in the Mink Creek Valley…henceforth she will never move again! (DM us if you long to get involved).

Out on the tractor tiller today turning our old beds over to make way for the new. It’s bitter sweet…tomorrow too, last market of the season ♥️. Look forward to being with ya’ll in the morning 🌞
Our Farm Fire pepper blend and Charelle’s Allnatcharelle Face Cream with our Calendula Oil are wonderful little items to have through the cold months ahead!

The dynamic skies, the dream of snow in the hills, cold shadows and vibrant sun…just two Saturday markets remain as we find ourselves wrapped in the beautiful landscapes of a new season. Come meet the cool sunshine morning with us! We’ll begin our brumal goodbyes 😊

A nostalgic time of year it is, when the freeze has hit the farm and all the Tomatoes and Peppers must come down from their vines to find safety in the cellar. It’s a time rich with gratitude and sweet sadness for what has flourished and what now will pass! It’s a true privilege to live a life so intimately tied to the ebb and flow of the seasons, thank you all for making that possible. Join us in the nostalgia at market in the morning 🍁

With beautiful fall sunshine comes the rain to nurture our soil. The morning will be wet and cool, but we will be warm and rich with goods to share. Get cozy in your favorite jacket friends, and come see us at market in the morning🌦️

Little maple trees red in the draws, sky blue sharp against the sage colored land, little Mink stream running leaf laden and clear! Come out in the morning to enjoy the beautiful place that you live, and to share in a bit of the beautiful food it brings to you 😊
