I just want to say thank you. I’m so grateful you’re here and helping shape this community from the very beginning. One of the greatest joys of farming is the community that grows alongside the food, and I’m excited to gather around our shared love of growing. If you’re willing, I’d love for you to introduce yourself below — no pressure at all. Even a sentence or two is perfect. You might share: - Your name - Your growing experience (brand new, experienced, or somewhere in between) - What you’re hoping to get out of this space this season This community will grow organically, shaped by the questions and experiences you bring. I’m really glad you’re here 🌿— Sammie

I was getting ready to make lunch today and decided to crack open a jar of stewed San Marzano from the summertime. Having some of our bounty preserved and available in the winter months feels like SUCH a gift! Things we are able to reliably preserve for use during winter that are SHELF stable include: Stewed tomatoes Pickled Green Beans Pickled Cucumbers Pickled Jalapeno Pickled Habanada really anything pickled but this is a great beginner list. If your considering pickling or preserving we can adjust your quantities for abundance for off season use!

Have a question about: - What to plant or when - Spacing or succession planting - Soil prep or fertility - Pests, disease, or plant stress - Harvest timing or yields Drop it here. If you’re wondering it, chances are someone else is too.

If you’re new, you don’t need to read everything or “catch up.” This space is meant to support you as questions come up throughout the season. Feel free to jump right in: - Ask a question - Read through ongoing discussions - Or just quietly learn from others - There’s no pressure to post, no expectation of perfection, and no “right” level of experience here. Gardening is messy by nature — that’s part of the process (and fun!) I’ll be sharing guidance based on what’s happening in real time on the farm and responding to questions as they come up. I’m so glad you’re here, community is everything and it's one of my favorite parts of growing. If you want to introduce yourself we would love to hear where your from, what your growing experience is (if any), and what your hoping to get out of this space.
