These fellas sure are growing up fast! #garlic

Peas are the only crop that I seed directly into the field by hand. They just don’t work well in my seeder. I don’t mind though, there is something so grounding about digging a trench and dropping in the seeds. The timeless simplicity makes me feel connected to my unknown peasant ancestors.

Darling, do you think you need that much mulch? #thatisonlyhalf #bulkbuyingischeaper #gonnaneedabiggerwheelbarrow

Some days these days optimism can be elusive. Thank goodness I can turn off the radio and head to the garden. #optimisticgarlic #spinach #farmtherapy

It is never hard to find this one on a sunny March day. #sunlover #hoophousenap #Beatrice

True leaves! Are you as eager for salad as I am? #spring #eatyourgreens

Hello lovelies. Can you guess what these babies will grow up to be? #germination #localveggies #beautifulfood

From February Dreaming to March Seeding KNUCKLE DOWN NEWS First let me say that it’s always so lovely to see familiar names appearing on my CSA registration list, and it’ll be even nicer to see your faces in person come June!...Continue reading

To all the women out there feeding the world in a myriad of ways happy #internationalwomensday.

I loved getting your veggies every week, not only are they delicious, but there are so few purchases one can make in life and feel like there aren’t any negative externalities hiding inside them. Today for #csaweek i thought I would post some pictures of the critters I share my garden with. Increasing the diversity of habitats on our farm is one of many ongoing projects that are more about environmental stewardship than the business of vegetable growing. Being a part of that, is one of the things that makes joining a #csafarm so much more than just buying groceries! #ecosystemservices #community #sustainability #pollinators #wildlife

When I am busy harvesting I never have time to take pictures of our vegetables. Luckily for me sometimes my CSA members do! Thank you @anitamariegriffin for the lovely photos! #csaweek #summershare #localveggies

Happy Solstice everyone! Hibernate a little longer, let the light return gently. #wintersolstice #sleepydog

"There are more living creatures in a single teaspoon of healthy soil than there are people on Earth."

This week is #csaweek of course this is just a silly marketing ploy, but hey, we have to get the word out somehow! So here I am with a Daikon and my cute kid to remind everyone that community supported agriculture is all about knowing your farmer. Who wouldn’t want this dork growing their food? #dorkswithdaikon #csafarmshare #farmingwithkids

Oh look we are in the news too! Thanks to everyone to came out and bought vegetables, we are looking forward to seeing you all in the Spring.

Nice to see Wheelbarrow Farm in the news. Some of you may not know that this is the farm I was working on when I realized I couldn't go back to my non-farming life. Congratulations Tony and crew!

Salad mix from the field in November! Getting ready for our very last market of the Season tomorrow. #marketinthevillagestirling #xmasmarket #spicysaladmix
