Blue Ridge Family Farm

Strawberry Jam kinda day. Compliments of Hunter's Farm here in Easley,SC. I ran out of 8oz jars so I had to improvise and use the bigger jars. 4 gallons later and we have 18 - 8oz jars, 6- 16 oz jar and then one big big jar. 🥰🍓🥰🍓

Much needed sunshine and a garden walk 🥰

Purple potatoes from the garden! Even with me picking them early, we still had a great harvest for our first year growing Purple Majesty Potatoes. 😍😍😍

One day my veggies will make it from the garden to my counter.....but today was not that day haha! Green Arrow peas have been such a delight to grow and they are so sweet. I will definitely be planting more of them next year!

Thing one and thing two thinking they are slick. They have started to chitter back at me when I fuss at them. I don't mind if they help themselves to what mess the birds leave behind so long as they don't make the mess themselves. Buncha jerk faces.

I'm so excited to see our purple potato plants popping up! They grow so much quicker than I remember. It's time to run some soaker hoses and put down some mulch or hay. 😍

Purple potatoes popped, carrots got their second set of leaves and holy moly volunteer strawberries everywhere 😍

Working on a new design using scrap leather. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy dying/creating this look. I'll share the final project once complete!

Started a new project today. Not sure what it will be or how it will look in the end, but that's half the fun!

Getting things moving!!

Our sprouts are growing! A lot of what we grow can be used for body system support, with secondary purposes for culinary uses and companion planting or pollinator support, too. Little gem lettuce, first time growing and hopefully with good results. 3 species of Yarrow are doing really well, and finally, a ton of Orange Thyme.

Sometimes life has other plans. We won't be at the Azalea festival in Pickens on the 26th of April or the Family Farm Day on May 3rd in Fountain Inn. We still are taking orders for leather goods, seedlings and garden goodies. But Patriotic Iron works will not be able to contribute ubtil furthet notice due to today's fire and total loss.
