School Hill Garden and Tiny Acre Farm

Thank you for your patience over the next couple weeks as we are having to replace the old front porch (+80 years old) stonework. Please use the gate that is usually used as an exit. Not only hoping that this will shore up the sagging porch, but also repair any entrances into the basement that the snakes have been so happily using for decades now. 🤪 🐍

Bagging up warm, chewy chocolate chip cookies for the farmstand as well as picked a ton of fresh produce this morning, especially blessed to be picking English cucumbers and gorgeous tomatoes the end of May/beginning of June .💖👩‍🌾

This morning’s haul💖👩‍🌾🍅🙌

SO EXCITED!!!! Virginia Tech’s Food and Technical research department reached out asking us if we would be so kind as to donate a jar of our Blackberry Jam for a current study they are conducting on Polyphenols and nutrition in Virginia grown Blackberries. 🤩 Can’t wait until they share the results with us. Our Blackberries are grown and made into jam right here on the farm in Unison. My Ma would be so happy. 💖👩‍🌾

Walls of gold encircle
Pasturelands and plains,
Ri***ng hills and meadows,
Edging country lanes.

Skirting cloistered forests,
Girdling fen and down,
Bordering the roadsides,
Shutting in the town.

Concentrated splendour
Of the year they hold,
Fortresses enclosing
Summer's garnered gold.
