Good Farm

We’ve got scapes over at the bread stand at Rock Run House ! 🥖 🧄

We planted 200 ish peppers, eggplants, and lots of flowers for drying yesterday. Echo helped us plant and kept morale high in the heat. Everyone’s favorite part was when the plants got watered in at the end of the day 🥵

We did lots of bed prep yesterday - time to plant !

If you are local and need a new plant friend, get in touch ! We have spider plants, purple hearts, and golden pothos- all easy and low maintenance plants 🌱

We got a couple beds planted today, that’s about all the boss would let us do 😅 garlic is lookin awesome and I’m really looking forward to making lots of things with dried flowers later this year.

Some people have asked us when we’ll be at market and we took a picture today to show the two most impressive things we’ve grown this year 😅

Echo weighs around 14 lbs and the cabbage weighs wayyyy more.

We’re taking a little break from farming this year and are trying very hard to find our own forever farm ! If you know of some good land or anything for sale please let us know 👩🏼‍🌾 🧑🏼‍🌾 👶🏼

Looking at farmland for sale and I gotta say I am sick of seeing “property owner would like to see the land remain in production and support the next generation of farmers” and then they’re asking for over a million $$
The next generation of farmers does not have that money or the ability to get a loan for that money.
This was an extreme example but I see it so much. So many young people want to farm and the few people who are trying to sell their farms are selling for a price that most aspiring farmers could never come up with.
I understand the perspective that the landowner put a lot of work into their land and it’s worth a lot but if you really want to “help the next generation” do them a favor and actually help them.
It’s depressing and honestly distressing… where’s the food gonna come from in 10 years if/ when we can’t rely on California or other countries?

We had varying degrees of success with our season extension but these purple daikon radishes seem pretty happy
